Insight publications - Teacher's blog The latest online resources – news articles, essays, podcasts, videos, opinion pieces, reviews and literary criticism – often with suggested activities, guiding questions and writing tasks that you can take straight into class. The aim is to make your planning and preparation just a little bit easier.

LitCharts - Literature Guides LitCharts present a bulleted-list-style summary of every single plot point in the book side-by-side with analysis and color-coded themes for each point. Every LitChart includes a color-coded Themes Key, which assigns a specific color to each theme. Readers can then trace the prevalence of themes as they develop throughout the book.
