Instructional Ideas

• Project each section onto the board for discussion after class members have read the same chapter for homework
• Distribute the link to the eBook rather than checking out a class set of novels

Classroom Considerations

• Requires access to the Internet 
• Search field searches the entire site, not the text of the novel
• Does not offer the capability to annotate or highlight

Pros

• Chapter organization makes it easy to find the section you need to reference
• Provides additional links to enhance the lesson, including audio files of spirituals and hymn, prefaces to different editions, and addresses from the author and publishers

Cons

• None
