BIOGRAPHY
Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was born in
Boston, the son of two actors who died before his third
birthday. He was raised in the United States and
England by John Allan, with whom he had a troubled
relationship. Poe’s adult life was difficult, too. He
earned only a meager living from his writings. Still,
during his short life he wrote poems and stories that
have made him one of the best-known American
authors. A critic has called his verse “easy but
unforgettable”
“This is the picture of Edgar Allan Poe” (The teacher will show them the picture of the author)

4) Discussion
“This poem is an example of what kind of poetry? “It is an example of a narrative poetry”
“Correct. It is a narrative poetry, a poetry that tells
a story. Narrative poems have a special appeal. They
present dramatic events vividly, using some of the
elements as short stories such as plot, characters and
even dialogue.
a) Recalling
“Where do the events in this poem take place?” “In a kingdom by the sea”
“At what stage of life was the narrator when he fell “At a young age or when they were kids”
in love?”
“What cause Annabel Lee’s death?” “She was chilled to death. The jealousy of the angels
was the reason why a wind came down from a cloud
and killed her”
“Why can neither the angels nor the demons “Because they love each other so much that even death
separate the narrator’s soul from that of Annabel could not separate them”
Lee?”
“What does the narrator do all the night tide?” “The narrator lies down beside the coffin of Annabel
Lee by the side of the sea”
b) Interpreting
“How can a love be more than love?” “When you love with a love that was more than love.
Even death couldn’t be a hindrance and that’s what
they call eternal love”
“How would you describe the love between the “Their love was special and intense, even though they
narrator and Annabel Lee?” were so young”
“What can you say about the narrator’s mood?” “The narrator feels nostalgic. There is longing and
sadness in his voice”
c) Applying
“The poet Countee Cullen once wrote, “Never love
with all your heart. It only ends in aching.” What “It means, you don’t have to love too selflessly. You still
does he mean by this?” have to preserve some for your own self in order not to
suffer unbearable pain in the end”
“Do you think the narrator would agree? Why or “No, he won’t. Because for him love is never selfish”
why not?”
d) Literature Analysis
“What have you noticed in the poem?” “Some of the lines are repeated several times”
“Not including the title, how many times does the “It appeared 7 times”
name Annabel Lee appear in the poem?”
“What line in the first stanza is repeated almost “The line in the kingdom by the sea”
exactly in the next three stanzas?”
4
“Which adjective describing Annabel Lee is repeated “beautiful”
3 times in the poem?”
“Why do you think the writer repeats the name “Because she’s the title character, and she’s the reason
“Annabel Lee” so many times?” the poem exists.”
IV. Generalization
“Based on the poem presented, define repetition” “Repetition is the use of a word or group of words more
“What are its purposes?” than once.
“It creates a variety of effects such as excitement,
peacefulness and even suspense. It is used for emphasis.
e) Infusion of Values
There are many ways to show how you love
someone. There are those who gave their life as (Student’s answers may vary)
proof of their undeniable love like famous heroes ho
fought for our freedom. If you are Dr. Jose Rizal, will
you give your life also for our country’s welfare? As
a student, how will you be able to show your love to
your fellowmen, to the country as a whole and to
your family?
