Exceptionally Productive
June 30, 2005
I’ve been quite busy getting work finished for our first ReadWriteThink content report of FY06. We added several Web sites to the Web Resources Gallery:
- Ohio Center for the Book
- Dickinson Electronic Archives
- NYPL Digital Gallery
- The Walt Whitman Archive
- Publishers’ Bindings Online 1815-1930: The Art of Books
- Newseum
I composed a lesson plan, which actually includes a List of Ten. The 912 lesson Star-Crossed Lovers Online: Romeo and Juliet for a Digital Age includes a list of Modern-Day Interpretation Projects (It’s a PDF). I plan to add it specifically to the Lists page, but I’m just listing it here for now. I have some additional ideas to add to the list of interpretation (e.g., create the cell phone address book of one of the characters, complete with icons and custom ringtones). There may be a second list of interpretations eventually. While the lesson plan uses Romeo and Juliet for the examples, I’ve written the Projects so that they use the word “text” rather than name the work that is involvedthat way anyone can use them with any “older” text.
