A two-week literacy unit of work for Year 6, containing lesson plans and pupil resources, looking at some of Poe's atmospheric poems with dramatic mood changes in them.

In this unit pupils will:
- read and listen to classic poems by Edgar Allan Poe
- research the historical and literary context of the poems
- engage imaginatively with poetic language
- discover how Poe uses poetic devices to change the mood of a poem
- create their own mysterious Raven character
- hold a debate to find out what type of poetry 'The Raven' is
- write a recount of the frenzied events of 'The Raven'
- express the mood of a poem through performance
- prepare and give a performance to an audience

The poems include 'The Bells' and 'The Raven'.

The performance at the end of the unit would be perfect for World Poetry Day or to use in a poetry performance or assembly.
