A new form of cliff notes has arrived – and it’s interactive.
Poised to supplement such works as Great Expectations, The Crucible, and The Scarlett Letter, 60secondrecap.com streams short videos summarizing important elements of classic literature. Enthusiastic host and founder Jenny Sawyer provides students with an overview of each piece, along with a 21st century perspective on the plot, characters, themes, and motifs.
With books being added every week, this site is sure to become a popular tool for students [and teachers] and is already making headlines.
Take a look at this recap for Great Expectations.
