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.

Highschool Beowulf Summaries Sparknotes

This is a site similar to sparknotes. It has summaries, analysis, character lists, and quizzes. What I liked about this site is the Why Should I Care section they have for every book that describes why they are studying this book in a witty way. If used as a tool and not a substitution for reading the book i think it is a great asset for teachers and students.

Since we are all in the early stages of developing our personal learning networks (PLN), I found this blog post to be a useful description of what a PLN should include and the purpose it can serve. Definitely some things to keep in mind as you continue to build your own personal learning network.

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.

If you are a creative writer and haven't heard of nanowrimo, you need to check it out. It is a website that spurs writers on, through word goals and inspirational e-mails, to write a novel in a month. It could also be useful if you teach a creative writing class in the future. Effective writing teachers are writers.
