Geoffrey Chaucer Web Site - Harvard University
Grades
9 to 12tag(s): authors (113), chaucer (5), literature (215), medieval (38)
In the Classroom
Use the "teach yourself Chaucer" section of this website to show students how Middle English was spoken, and what Chaucer's work would have sounded like to his contemporaries. In this section are quick "lessons," aka brief excerpts explaining pronunciation in various parts of the book. Use the language charts over the interactive whiteboard to quickly explain the difference between Modern and Middle English. This would be great in an English or Social Studies class studying Chaucer and the Middle Ages.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Jane Austen - JaneAusten.org
Grades
9 to 12tag(s): authors (113), literature (215)
In the Classroom
Though Jane Austen wrote only six novels, there are enough to give your students a choice. Allow students to read the book of their choice individually, in pairs, or small groups. Have them choose the book they want to read by going through the book titles and reading the first couple of pages for the books; there are actually two pages for each chapter in the books, but reading the first pages for two or three chapters should be enough to pique their interest in one of the books. After the students have read their books have them put together a presentation using Sway, reviewed here. Allow them to choose the format with which they wish to present the book to their classmates, they can choose an interactive poster, brochure, newsletter, and others.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Grades
9 to 12tag(s): shakespeare (98), tempest (3)
In the Classroom
In a class where textbooks may be short this is an excellent site to insure everyone has access to "The Tempest." This would also be useful for a class reading of the play. Open the site on the interactive whiteboard or projector, and click on the link that allows you to display the full play on one fluid page. From this point, assign students parts and let them read aloud. Just make sure to keep up with the scrolling as students read!Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
