E.L.Easton's English Online complements this
site as does Dan Kurland's Critical
Reading site
These resources are specific to the High School level. Our Middle School English Classroom contains additional links to support grammar, poetry, reading, and Shakespeare study. General resources for the integration of technology into the English & Language Arts curriculum can be found on our Research Starting Points - English.
Literary Criticism (selective) - a direct search is often most effective
- Internet Public Library - selective lists of works online - by author, title, period/genre
- Glossary of Literary Theory - short explantions of critical theories, from University of Toronto
- Literary Criticism on the Web - by author - pop-ups - links to essays, generally, but also to essays about literary criticism - not fully up to date
- Glossary of Literary Terms - free resource from the Gale Group
- Glossary of Literary Terms with reference to texts - from Robert Harris
- Glossary of Literary Terms for the study of poetry - from Cambridge
- Literary Terms - from Ted Nellen, for his CyberEnglish class - each is followed by several hyper-examples
To supplement the lessons and resources you will find online, Least Tern offers workshops specifically designed for the English classroom:
- Blog Talk - learn about and experience blogs and WIKIs
- Beyond the Book: Choosing and Using e-Texts
- Beyond Word Processing - using Word and PowerPoint in the English Classroom
- Correcting and Peer Editing with Microsoft Word
- Hyperstories with Button Talk
- Laptops in the English Classroom
We intend for our links to be current. Please report dead links to us. Additionally, please expand this resource by contributing links and lessons. We ask that you not upload our materials to your website. We would be delighted to develop webpages and activities for your classroom. Please contact us.
