This is an interesting web site for students and
teachers. The website provides study materials for selected
literature, poetry, and U.S. history topics. Below is part of
a press release Shmoop sent out:
"We're Shmoop, a new educational website for high school
and college students. A bunch of us (mostly Ph.D. and Masters students
from Stanford and Berkeley) have worked on this for the past
year-and-change. We opened our doors recently, and we're itching to ask
you for your 2 cents, shekels, whatever.
