Lorenzo Hays · Answer 1

The maturity level of the eighth graders must be taken into consideration, as well as what depth or level of understanding is required. The story of the Tell-Tale Heart is one of murder and guilt. Although students at this age might be able to comprehend the words of the material, is the material appropriate for the age. It seems like it might be a little above their ability at truly comprehending and linking consequences with deviant behavior. It really depends on the context of other materials presented in coordination with the story, as well as the ability of the students.
