"Nature's Warning"

Today we had an interesting topic "Nature's Warning". To my surprise, children were very curious with this topic, they thought about the future of our planet. I gave them a task to write poems about the environment. And some of them were really great ^_^ This week I'll try to publish some of them.

Poem


Edgar Allan Poe


Last week I had a lesson dedicated to this great American writer, poet, editor, literary critic. He is considered as an inventor of detective stories. And one of his detective story, "The Gold Bug", was the topic of our lesson. The story involves cryptography with a detailed description of a method for solving a simple substitution cipher using letter frequencies.
To say the truth I'm his big fan. I found some information, that may be useful for other people.
