For my final project for our class, I decided to expand my Omeka page and add more content.  I decided to make a second exhibit that explains the novel adaptations of Pride and Prejudice and give some summaries and explanations of the novels.  I decided to make each type of adaptation into a new page […]

In order to get my student’s involved with the changing of technology. I want them to be able to understand how these newer tools available to them can be used in a literature class. I decided to use Voyant for my lesson because it was the site that I found would be most interesting to […]
