Ed Sheeran or Edgar Allan Poe Interactive Bulletin Board, Presentation, & Quiz

Who wrote it: singer song-writer Ed Sheeran or poet Edgar Allan Poe? Your students will have so much fun trying to decide whether the quote is from a Poe poem or lyrics from an Ed Sheeran song! You can use the interactive bulletin board display OR the student handout and presentation as an anticipatory set to ignite excitement and appreciation for poetry.

The zipped bundle includes a 28-page PDF for the interactive bulletin board (26 quote cards + two heading pages), a 2-page PDF student handout (26-question "quiz"), a 2-page teacher answer key, and a 78-slide presentation (updated to include both PowerPoint and PDF formats). The presentation and the interactive bulletin board both include the answers with details about the poem or song that is quoted. *I have also included a paper-saver option for the bulletin board where you can print two-sided with two cards on one page.*

As a bonus, the handout includes a brief bio about both authors. It's a great way for your students to have a POSITIVE attitude about poetry and English class, in general. It also helps them see that the lines of poems are very much like song lyrics, which helps students to understand the meaning.

Please be patient while downloading as it is a very large zipped folder. If you have trouble unzipping it, re-download and wait several minutes before unzipping.
