Resources and Links
In the world of writing and literature, there are always questions to ask and answers to search for. I've complied a list of helpful links and resources for you to use, whether it be in working on a project, checking your grammar, or trying to learn more about something that interested you in class!
"The world will never starve for want of wonders;
but only for want of wonder." - G. K. Chesterton
Use thesaurus.com to find synonyms and antonyms to brighten up your writing. Canva is great for creating posters, flyers, collages, and other artistic presentation options. Dictionary.com is just what it sound like - look up a word and you'll get its definition, how to pronounce it, and examples of how to use it. When we study Shakespeare and his works, this site will be a fantastic resource. It holds all of Old Shakes' plays and poems as well as supplementary information.
With Padlet, we can have class discussions and easily share information and ideas. You can also go back to old Padlet boards, create your own, or join classroom boards that I create. On Pixabay, you can find over a million royalty-free images - perfect for projects. Sparknotes, long thought to be the enemy of English teachers, is actually a great resource! On this site, you can find practice quizzes, summaries, and explanations of key themes. The No Fear Shakespeare section converts Shakespearean language to modern terms!
