 * 1) Utilizing the Before, During and After reading chart handed out during class (there is also a link below) read all of the vocabulary words listed. I left space for you to add your own vocabulary words for you to add before or during your read.
 * 2) Click the link above and read through the story. It is encouraged that you take notes. You will notice that some of the vocabulary words are already highlighted. Do not click on them yet.
 * 3) Either while you are reading or directly after, fill out the "During" aspect of the B/D/L chart with what you believe the words to mean. Try using context clues, prefixes/suffixes, or prior knowledge. It is your job to attempt to understand how Poe is using the word.
 * 4) After you have filled out the "During" part of the chart, go back and actually click on the words. The dictionary definition will be provided. Write the dictionary definition down in the "After" column of the chart. If the word is not highlighted, use dictionary.com or an actual dictionary to look up the word's definition.
 * 5) Compare. How did your definitions stack up? Were they correct? Why or why not?
