This resource features an anticipation guide for Edgar Allan Poe's chilling tale of pestilence, "The Masque of the Red Death" along with a meticulously-explained lesson plan that is in my opinion, the absolute best way to approach a new short story. Using a non-intimidating method called "Numbered Heads", this activity will get your students thinking, writing, conversing, and reporting about themes you will be encountering during your study of "The Masque of the Red Death."

Product Includes:

- 2 Page Anticipation Guide with 7 Debate Statements

- "Numbered Heads" Lesson Plan

I am confident that your students will enjoy this thoughtful, engaging activity as much as my students have for years!
