Resources for Teachers of Composition and Literature

excellent resource provided by Amherst College

Fascinating and useful.  Students can explore language variants both in text and audio.  This site can help with students who speak marginalized dialects.  It can help them understand that Stand American English is not necessarily better than dialects, just different. Could foster inclusion of "othered" students.

The Library of Congress offers classroom materials and professional development to help teachers effectively use sources from the Library's vast digital collections in their teaching.  The lessons learned here can help students with research techniques for all databases and CUNY libraries.

Fantastic resource!  The website contains a series of short biographical films on New Yorkers.  Really interesting way to introduce ethnographic research.

   This is a website for K-12 but there are excellent resources for reading comprehension exercises and extension activities for a wide variety of texts.  Teachers can use some as is or follow the design with different texts.
