YouTube - Treehouse of Horror I: The Raven | Diigo - 0 views

  •  
    This clip from the Simpsons is a great resource to use when reading Poe's The Raven. It reads to poem out loud and acts it out in an entertaining way that i think high school students would get a kick out of! It would also help students understand the poem better and lead into a discussion about it.

    I like this example because it makes comic strips seem easy, something I always thought would be a challenge. This could be a great activity for high school or middle school students.

Stroke of Insight - 0 views

  •  
    I think this Ted talk really helps us rethink the way our minds work. It also helps reconstruct our ideas about people whose minds work completely differently, like kids that may struggle in school. It pushes us to think about right brain thinkers vs left brain thinkers, and why we need a better balance for both.
