| Summary |
Discusses an approach for teaching Moby Dick to "students who can read with a book in one hand and a mouse in the other," based on the research of the New Media Literacies Group. Includes links to a complementary online digital book, Flows of reading (at http://scalar.usc.edu/anvic/flowsofreading/index) and to a Teachers' Strategy Guide (at http://www.newmedialiteracies.org/teachers-strategy-guides/php), containing more material for the teaching of Moby Dick using this technique and material for teaching other works (J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, Suzanne Collins's The hunger games, and David Wiesner's Flotsam). |
