MAGPI/Haunted Poe
On November 5, 2009, Shani Evans and her students along with 10 other schools from PA and VA attended a MAGPI event titled “Haunted Poe”. The videoconference event was hosted by Brat Productions, a theatre company in Philadelphia. The students learned about Edgar Allan Poe’s biography as well as some of his works. We were taken virtually behind the scene to observe the process of creating the Haunted Poe production. Short passages and stories were performed by professional actors. I think we were all amazed at the theatrical costumes and props used in the haunted house! Our students had a chance to ask questions of the presenters which included the challenges of creating the productions.
