  • One year and a half after this site opened, someone asked me how  got the idea for Illuminated Texts -- the answer for that one is easy: I saw Jenny Lee's "Cat in the Rain."
  • This animation of Act 1, Scene 1 of Hamlet is done with skill, wit, and creativity by Kerry Ferrantella and his classmates.  Kerry used the free program Windows Movie Maker to animate the still drawings that he had created and then they created the voice overs.  The overall effect is astonishing and original.  Mr. Ferrantella's teacher is Ian McCarthy, also of Whitney Young High School -- and I am greatful to him and Kerry for allowing us to share this on the website.  I can't wait to use the project with my own students.

  • • This Web Quest has students putting together ideas from Romeo and Juliet such as Queen Mab, Romeo and Juliet in Sarajevo (a documentary about two lovers from different faiths in civil war-torn Bosnia), and the origins of Shakespeare's play.  I have always believed that Web Quests can be a valuable tool - however, they too often seem to be a technologically-enabled treasure hunt
    • A peaceful and contemplative examination of Shakespeare's Sonnet 27: "Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed."  It is night, the moon is out, and the Moonlight Sonata  plays in the background.  Done by two students towards the beginning of our creation of Illuminated Text, it is, as one commentator has said, an ideal example to show students the power of what they can do to explicate the text when creating an Illuminated Text.

  The illuminated texts on this site are pretty cool. I think I will definitely incorporate this into my teaching.
