See the following link for ELO#1 Handout:
Let me know if you have any questions, and be sure to focus on the following for each of the (5) required allusions:
- Context (Rule #1 - The 4 Ws - who, what, where, & when)
- Evidence (Rule #2 - partial quotes from the text)
- Analysis (Rule #3 - What is the subtext of each of Poe's 5 allusions - what is he trying to say about the speaker through these symbols? This is deep - you're going to have to put on your "thinking hats."
Work hard, give yourself one week to complete this, and be sure to email me if you have any questions.
Happy ELO-ing - I'm looking forward to seeing your hard work!
