Thanks, Casey,. I have been hearing quite a bit about Shmoop lately as well. If I were a classroom teacher, I would seriously consider using tons of stuff from the site. Thanks for the addition!

I would like to add another great site to this list (which by the way many many thanks for). As a teacher of English literature, I love to find new ways of making the material “hit home” for my students. It�s no mean feat trying to get a teen interested in Shakespeare as a lot of you might know. But, I recently came across a wonderful site � Shmoop that I really love. Shmoop has student and teacher resources for middle school to college level topics in literature and poetry. The site is written in a humorous tone that appeals to students without dumbing down the scholarly thought. Shmoop has study questions that I’ve used for class discussions and writing assignments, trivia, links to multimedia and hand-picked websites. There is quite a bit to enjoy at Shmoop. Have a look for yourself and � enjoy!
