National Geographic Beyond the Movie: Lord of the Rings
"This edition of National Geographic’s Beyond the Movie is my pick of the day (for middle school students and older) because it includes the author, the book, and the film in its scope. Although the topics (such as the historical, cultural and mythological influences on Tolkien) sound very academic, National Geographic excels at making it very approachable. So is the evil ring a reference to the atomic bomb of World War II? ""’An author cannot of course remain wholly unaffected by his experience,’ Tolkien acknowledged, but he strongly denied that his story was an allegory for World War I or II."""

Nancy Drew
"In 1930, an American heroine was born -- a teenage detective named Nancy Drew. In the nearly seven decades that have since passed, Nancy has matured from sixteen to eighteen years old while solving over 350 mysteries. I am one of the many generations of girls that loved Nancy’s can-do attitude, and although my daughter has yet to be bitten by the Nancy Drew bug, I am hoping she will soon. NancyDrew.com features an interactive mystery, chapters from selected books, a Shockwave game, discussion board and Nancy Drew lesson plans."

Mystery Greats Time Line
"The fascination with mystery and crime can be traced back to Ancient Greece, where playwrights like Sophocles and Euripides enthralled the local citizenry with their plays combining mystery and drama. In first-century B.C. Rome, Cicero argued passionately in court in defense of accused criminals, captivating Romans with his speeches. Read our evolution of the mystery in Time Line, and you’ll see that the Ancient Greeks and Romans weren’t so different from modern-day mystery fans. This captivating time line is just a taste of all that the fabulous MysteryNet has to offer. It’s my pick of the day!"

Mr. William Shakespeare and the Internet
"For scholarly research, or just plain fun, this well-organized site is my pick of the day. It includes both original content (such as a time line of Shakespeare’s life) and annotated links to a wide assortment of external sites. These links range from the useful (online Shakespeare courses) to the bizarre (a Star Trek site which offers Shakespeare in its "original Klingon form.") Want even more? Try the recommended five-diamond Shakespeare sites listed under Best Sites."
