The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe

Lesson Plans by Rebecca Ray

"The Raven" is one of Edgar Allan Poe's most famous works. The poem takes place just after midnight on a December evening. A depressed man is sitting in his library, drifting in and out of sleep as he reminisces about Lenore, his dead lover. He goes to the window to let in fresh air, and a raven swoops in, perching itself above the door.

Storyboard Text

  • Once upon a night so stormy, while I wandered with my homies,
  • With a pile of hero comics, from ages now long yore,
  • I felt a tiredness quite sapping, and went home, to start my napping.
  • When out of nowhere, came a scratching, scratching at my bedroom door. I told myself, "It's just a rat", scratching at my bedroom door; just a rodent, nothing more.

  • scratch, scratch, scratch
  • Quickly then I did remember, Uncle Pete in last December, who had ignored the noisome scratching, that came at his basement door.
  • scratch, scratch, scratch
  • I took up my Maglite, fading, its batteries, they need replacing, and forced myself up to the door...
  • scratch, scratch, scratch
