This year I co-taught sophomore English and got to read with my students All Quiet on the Western Front, Night, Animal Farm, and "Oedipus Rex". These texts are very complex and sometimes a little overwhelming to students. One funny resource is called Thug Notes. Thug Notes summarizes texts in a funny, street talk kind of way. Students love it and how real they are with the information about each book. Each video summarizes the book, talks about themes and analyze the text.
Here is a video trailer for Thug Notes
Here is my favorite video from this year
p.s. My only warnings is that some of the language is bleeped out. Check it out before you show your class.
