Literature

General

  • One of our users, has made a webpage full of great helps for this year-plan.  Check it out!  Thanks Tamra for all of the neat forms you have at Highland Heritage!

  • Primary Source documents: an exhaustive site for teacher and older students.  Begins at 500 BC and keeps going.  Organizing principle is "documents that pertain to Early American history.  Obviously, a broad view of our "roots!"

  • FreeBooknotes.com presents Cliff's Notes-like help for many works.

  • Great Books in Time.  This huge (and growing!) site links world literature with a variety of sites.  Some give background to the historical period that produced the works (this is the avowed goal of the site's author) and some give actual text of Great Books.  Set aside some browsing time, and enjoy!

  • You won't believe this Wordsmyth site. You can look up any word, you can even make your own glossary. You type in a list of vocabulary words, decide what you would like included and push send. You then get a professional paged glossary of all your words. AND IT IS FREE! (You do have to register first.)  Contributed by Dody.

  • Norton online quizzes - Western Literature
