Poe…frisson…Huh?
Filed in Happening in the classroom on Oct.13, 2009
I’ve heard of Author Edgar Allen Poe, but I couldn’t tell you much about when he lived or what he accomplished. And if you asked me what a frisson was I would guess it was something you might buy at the CoffeeHound to go with your drink (which isn’t even close in case you’re wondering). Fortunately, English teacher Mark Adams is on the scene and has usedĀ a little technology to help engage students in learning about the life and death of the famous author. You can view the full lessonĀ here, and take part in the same exploration as his students are here. You just might figure out what a frisson is as well…
