The mind mirror activity asks students to synthesize and be creative with their understanding of a given character (Common Core Standard: Analyze
C
haracterization)
In an outline of the character’s head, students express how the character was feeling
and thinking at a specific time and comment on what the character was considering.Slide4
What do I do?
To illustrate symbolism will use:
Two relevant
quotes (CDs)
from the text.
Create two comments (CMs)
that summarize the important aspects of the symbolism.
Two depictions (
drawing
and/or
symbol
)
that connect to Poe’s use of symbolism.Next to the depiction, explain with a captionSlide5

QUOTES/CDs
“One of his eyes resembled that of a vulture…”
“Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold…”
“…I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever.”
“…but I found the eye always closed; and so it was impossible to do the work…”
“…it was not the old man who vexed me, but his evil eye.”
“It was open - wide, wide open – and I grew furious as I gazed upon it.”
“At length it ceased. The old man was dead. I…examined the corpse.”
“I then took up three planks from the flooring of the chamber, and deposited all between the scantlings.”
“There was nothing to wash out – no stain of any kind – no blood-spot whatever.”
“I admit the deed! – tear up the planks! – here, here! – it is the beating of his hideous heart!”Slide10
