The Tell-Tale Heart

by Joeming Dunn, Rod Espinosa (Illustrator)

Read-Along Radio Dramas use both visual and auditory sensory modes to develop the full range

of language arts skills including an intuitive sense for the sound patterns of the English language

and a reading rate appropriate to the material being read. The kits were designed for use with

language arts students in 6th grade through adult levels. Students follow along on word-for-word

scripts as they listen to the recorded audio drama with full casts and sound effects. The high

interest audio production promotes enthusiastic responses from students. When used as whole-

class read-along, the kits solve the age-old problem of some students not reading the assignment.

Read-Along Radio Dramas may be used with all language arts areas and ability levels (English,

reading, drama, ESL, special education, etc.) to improve reading, writing, listening and

visualization skills.



Each kit includes:

A cassette recording, a word-for-word script with duplication rights, seven or more student

activity sheets, discussion/writing questions, answer keys, a literary terms study packet, specific

teaching suggestions for the story title, strategies for teaching read-along in the secondary

classroom, an annotated script of the original story (when major changes are made in the

adaptation), and a sample lesson plan.



Common classroom uses:

Whole-class literature study.

Learning Stations -- Individual (home school for instance) or small group activities.

Models for writing and producing classroom plays.

Emergency Lesson Plans -- When teacher is absent, students are engaged in appropriate activities.

Genres: Graphic Novels Comics

Love it!

[AxPlantipupxS · Rating 1 out of 5]

It was honestly pretty unenjoyable because of the art style, linework, word bubbles, and lettering.
Unremarkable and came off as inexperienced.😐

Plenty of other similar works that reimagine Poe’s “The Tell Tale Heart” way better than this did.

Overall rating:
1/5 ⭐️

Fairly close to the original prose, but I hated the cheesy illustrations, as they looked like anime characters.

القصة غير كاملة من الأصل، انصح بقراءته مع تشغيل قراءة صوتية للقصة الأصلية ستُضيف كثيراً.
"ضميرك هو من يكشف خباياك" هذل اختصارٌ للقصة القصيرة

Found this in kid section, but I would put it in ya. Young man kills older gentleman, whom he loves because of his freaky eye.
