The Notorious Axeman of New Orleans is a
serial killer active between 1918 and 1919 in New
Orleans. This week will integrate group projects, lessons,
and creative writing prompts that give the students a
well-rounded idea Louisiana legends and ghost stories.

Interview with the Vampire
by Anne Rice
(by: Isaac Ryland)
The unit will cover the novel Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice. It will also cover the major
themes behind the book, its connection to the vampire legend in Louisiana, and the author herself.
I chose this unit because it has a lot of potential for connections to Louisiana, as well as modern
topicality. Students enjoy unique topics, and they will also learn about Louisiana history in the
process. I wanted two basic outcomes:
- To increase students’ knowledge of the novel and its author.
- To stimulate interest and increase knowledge of the vampire trope in Louisiana.
