LAPL/Canoga Park HS The Edgar Allan Poe Project- Letter number 2

Mr. Blythe was concerned that his 9th Grade class of IEP* learners were having a hard time engaging with online learning (really who wasn't?!).  Rockstar Librarian Marcia Melkonian and The Friends of the Canoga Park Library reached out to Connectopod because engagement is our game! Part of the Edgar Allan Poe Project, Mr. Blythe had his student write letters from 'Dr. Poe' to the insane asylum about his 'patients' (his characters!). They are as creepy as Mr. Poe's characters themselves! We thought it would be fun to have them read by professional artists.

Letter 2 is narrated by Voice over artist and actual therapist Steve Morris

We had so much fun with this class and are grateful for their hard work and the joyful spirit with which they took to learning through art.
