Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning Paragraph Practice With Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart”
Claim: Answer the question/make a claim.
Evidence: Cite one or more pieces of evidence from the text as support or as an example.
Reasoning: Explain why the evidence you gave supports your answer or claim; this is called reasoning.
Question: How do the police discover the murder at the end of “The Tell-Tale Heart”?
Step One:
In Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart,” the narrator provides what he thinks is convincing testimony. He suggests that he is not insane, but rather he suffers from sharp, or “over acuteness” of the senses. Is his account reliable? Or are there contradictory clues in the narrator’s testimony that demonstrate he is, in fact, insane? Consider his words, state of mind, and actions, then write an argumentative paragraph about whether or not the narrator is insane.
