As of now, my class of ESL students have not yet read “The Cask of Amontillado.” However, they have watched an animated music video based on the text and I also invited them to skim the text for new or unfamiliar words. We then created a list as a group using the digital projector.

Quizlet currently offers two game functions that allow me to compete against the students. They are now beating me at Scatter and Space Race.

“Cask” is a difficult text to comprehend, due both to its vocabulary and its sentence structure, but at least one hurdle is out of the way for now.
