Seriously. Classics in under a minute.
Think about it...do your students really get the key concepts? How do you know? Could they write an ultra condensed book based on a fiction book they have read? A non-fiction book? A chapter of the textbook?
Example, the Moby Dick Book-A-Minute. For more exxamples, check out the Book-A-Minute Classics web site.
Moby Dick
Moby Dick
By Herman Melville
By Herman Melville
Ultra-Condensed by Samuel Stoddard
Ishmael
Call me Ishmael.
Captain Ahab
Crew, we will seek the white whale and kill it, because I am insane.
Crew
Alas, your destructive obsession will be our undoing.
(They almost find the white whale. Then they almost find the white whale. Then they find it.)
Captain Ahab
I stab at thee. I stab at thee.
(Everybody dies except Ishmael, although this is no surprise, because it was foreshadowed CONTINUALLY from the BEGINNING.)
THE END
