I thought that I would share a few links to some sites that I find really useful. These sites offer open source literature. Basically any literary work with an expired copyright can be found online, edited, reformatted, printed off, copied...yours to use in any way you choose.
Open Source 1.0 - this is just a very short list of some of the works available
Project Gutenberg - here's the catalog of the Project Gutenberg site which claims "2,000 free ebooks online"
Project Gutenberg Australia - if you can't find it on the main Project Gutenberg site, look for it down under...some things are here that aren't there...
LibriVox - this site has audio versions of a plethora of literary works
With resources like this we as teachers, along with our students, can build our own literature anthologies together! These resources also allow students to have copies that they can mark-up, highlight, and make notes in. Imagine that! They can actually develop and practice good reading skills and habits.
