Here ye, hear ye! (...not sure if it's "Hear" or "Here" so I'm using both. 99% sure it's "Hear" now that I think about it. Oh well, too late to change it.)
Today is election day. Some guy named McCain and some other guy named Obama both want to be president. Everyone likes one or the other, but here at READ, we like Poe.
WE LIKE POE! WE LIKE POE!
That's right, we like Poe. And in honor of Poe, we are celebrating his 200th birthday on January 19, 2009 with a brand new Weekly Reader web site. Have ya heard that you can be a part of it?
Get your video camera and film a special birthday tribute to the man who wrote such classics as The Tell-Tale Heart, The Raven, Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, Rambo, the entire last season of LOST, and much much more...
Wait... what?
Don't worry about it. All will be explained on January 19th. In the meantime, click here to visit our TeacherTube page where you can upload your video birthday wishes.
The winners will get their videos published on READ's Poe website as well as winning $100 million!
OK, well we'll give you $100 anyway.
HURRY! DEADLINE IS NOVEMBER 21!
Poe Poe Poe Poe Poe Poe Poe Poe Poe!
P.S. The video lies. It says "Upload your videos here", but really it means
UPLOAD YOUR VIDEOS HERE.
