MyRocketbook.com<\/a> is producing what is essentially Cliff’s Notes on video. The videos give background, summaries and analysis for a variety of literary classics, including Beowulf<\/a>, Pride and Prejudice<\/a>, Nineteen Eighty-four<\/a>, Frankenstein<\/a>, The Crucible<\/a>, The Odyssey<\/a> <\/em>and Othello<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

The videos are great for independent learners and homeschooling parents and students. For teachers, the videos can act as enrichment for gifted students that are ready to strike out on their own, or as remediation for students who are struggling with these titles in your classroom.<\/p>\n
