This story is taught right around the Halloween season in conjunction
with four pieces from Edgar Allan Poe in a brief "Horror Unit." "The
Mist," along with the Poe selections, is done using an audio tape.
This allows for us to compare the styles of King and Poe. We conclude
the unit with a review of the 5 paragraph essay and a review the elements
needed for a strong thesis statement. Below is a brief description
of "The Mist."
"THE MIST" |
