**Requirements:** Please Note: All group members should participate in the development of all required materials. Not all group members must act or voice in your films, but they must be actively engaged in the production. Every member should have a piece of their final projects to present during the class presentations.
 * 1) Select a poem or story by Edgar Allen Poe and Complete a Poem Analysis using bubbl.us as a graphic organizer tool.
 * 2) Make sure to include the required information in your Poem Analysis by viewing the Poem Analysis Page . Your graphic organizer does not have to look exactly as the one shown, we provide one as a suggestion. As all group members read, make sure each individual includes notes of his/her thoughts and ideas for scene selection in the Bubbl.us graphic organizer. This will help your group decide and refine your scene.
 * 3) Write a summary of that poem
 * 4) After analyzing your poem, write an original script of a scene that is not explicitly written in the poem or story. Make sure to maintain the same mood as the rest of the story or poem by incorporating appropriate dialogue, props, music and scenery in a **3-7 minute** animation or video film.
 * 5) Prepare for your presentation by:
 * 6) organizing a short biography of Edgar Allen Poe and significant information about your select poem or play.
 * 7) Finalizing the summary of your poem or play.
 * 8) Publishing the final edition of your animated or video recorded film for class viewing.

Make your film creative and original! But make sure to maintain the same mood and tone of the original Edgar Allen Poe works. Have fun!

**Formulate Your Plan**
 * Now that you have an idea what this opportunity has in store, create a KNOW, NEED TO KNOW chart using **[|bubbl.us].**
 * Your KNOW side should contain all the facts you can pull out of the above article, message, and Voki message from Stephen Abramson.
 * Your NEED TO KNOW Side should contain all the questions you still have, (and you should have some), concerning this project. Not all the information has been given to you at this stage, so there are some decisions to be made by your team.

Post Your individual bubbl.us chart to the Midnight Dreary Google Doc. space.

Next Steps:
Your teacher will place you in your groups. Once you have completed your Bubbl.us organizer and posted the document to the Midnight Dreary Google docs. space, move on to "Group Contract".
