REVIEW:
This is a one-stop source of information about the life and work of one of Americas most renowned literary figures, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The information is divided into seven sections that include a biography, an essay about Longfellows works and his influence, information about his family and his homes, and a searchable database of his poems and lesson plans for teachers. The database of poems is quite extensive and can be searched by keyword or sorted by title, first line, publication name, or publication year. For teachers, there is a collection of interdisciplinary lesson plans that were developed by teachers. Lesson plans, available in a printer-friendly format, include suggested grade levels, learning objectives, materials and resources, and classroom activities.
