songsparrow Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I remember a thread in which people recommended two online websites that provide free literature guides on a variety of classics and other books. The resources were wonderful, and I thought I bookmarked them, but I can't find the thread either in my list of followed threads or by doing a search. Can anyone help me out, and point me either to the thread or to the websites that might have been referenced? Thanks! ETA: The reason that I'm looking for the sites right now, was that I was hoping to find some that provided discussion points and questions relating to Ancient Greek myths. If anyone has any recommendations on that point, they'd be appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lori D. Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) Maybe one of these past threads?Free lit guides?Literature Studies... looking for downloadable guides for classics And, try a google search for your specific title -- something like: "free literature guide for _________", or, "study guide, __________". That often turns up cool free resources. And then, here are some free Lit. guides:Reading Units by Gay Miller (elementary)Homeschool Share reading units (elementary)Novel Study reading guides by Brian Thornton (elementary/middle school)Teacher Vision (middle school/high school)Glencoe Literary Library (middle school/high school)Bibliomania (high school/college)Penguin Group (high school/college)Sparknotes (high school/college)Cliff's Notes (high school/college)Pink Monkey (high school/college)Schmoop (middle school/high school)Schmoop (high school/college) ETA: Sparknotes has a summaries and analysis of myths, but not much in the way of questions. Cliff's Notes and Grade Saver both have a few essay questions for various mythologies. Edited January 22, 2019 by Lori D. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
songsparrow Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 My favorite has recently become Shmoop.com. I just stumbled on Shmoop.com's discussion of the Persephone myth, and was very impressed. I think I'll be returning there often! And I will be checking out the other resources listed - thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
