Geoffrey Chaucer Web Site - Harvard University
Grades
9 to 12
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.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.

The Robert Burns Encyclopedia
Grades

Jane Austen
Grades
9 to 12In 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
