Edgar Allan Poe----The Raven
Core Connections
January 29, 1845 - The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe was first published in The New York Evening Mirror. The narrative poem brought him instant fame but not financial success. The poem was known for its perfect literary composition and its haunting theme and meter. His works have been dissected and interpreted for years and make for interesting classroom discussion and study.
A study of Edgar Allan Poe's work and life will expose students to new theories on the nature of fiction and to the genre of short stories.
Space Exploration - Remembering the Challenger
Core Connections
On January 28, 1986 the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) experienced one of the most tragic events in space exploration history. All seven members of the Challenger team, including teacher Christa McAuliffe, were killed as the Challenger's right solid rocket booster O-ring failed due to record low temperatures causing the shuttle to break up and crash into the ocean. As we pay tribute to this crew and other astronauts who have been lost, we must remember that they did not die without purpose.
