Today only on “Apps Gone Free” you can download an Edgar Allan Poe collection of stories for the iPad. It has amazing and creepy illustrations to support the text and can be read in English, Spanish or French. The collection includes The Oval Portrait, The Tell-Tale Heart, Annabel Lee, The Masque of Red Death and a Biography of Edgar Allan Poe. This may be TOO creepy for your students, so be sure to read it yourself prior to reading to your students. You knew that though didn’t you.

The Raven isn’t included. It is in a different collection for $3.99. However over at www.byrdseed.com there are some free recordings of the Raven and some ideas that can be used for the Raven as well as others to teach rhythm and rhyme. One of the audio recordings listed here is by James Earl Jones and also Christopher Walken! Ideas for Raven by Byrdseed: http://www.byrdseed.com/poes-the-raven/
As I said, this may too creepy for intermediate students, but there may be some useful ideas between these two resources.
