I am practicing the close reading method that the Common Core requires.

Read The Cask of
Amontillado.
On the first read, establish the plot, the characters, and
the setting. Read straight through to the end.
Maybe you want to underline or circle words or phrases that tripped you
up.
On the second read, take the time to look up the words you
don’t know. Read section by section
making sure you understand what is going on.
If you understand the story, this second read can be used for some
examination of the writer’s techniques.
Start looking for sections that will help you support your explanation
of Poe’s style.
The third read should be focused on those sections you want
to study in depth. Are there lines of
dialogue or a lines of description that embody Poe’s style? Are there things about this story that you
have seen in other stories we have read?
Start looking at the notes you have made in the margins. What connections are you making?
I would like the piece to be about 300 words, typed, single
spaced, Times New Roman size 12. It is
due on Friday or e-mailed soon after.
