Richard Beach of the University of Minnesota together with Deborah Appleman (Carleton College), Susan Hynds (Syracuse), and Jeffrey Wilhelm (Boise State) have put together a website for training student-teachers to teach literature. With pages and links to critical methodologies, practical questions and answers, and genre studies, this site is a real throw-down resource. A fantastic job, well balanced, and up-to-date.
Nice mnemonic devices! At yourdictionary.com which also, like mw.com,
sponsors a Word of the Day and Word Games.
