Classic American Authors
http://www.readbookonline.net/shortStory/ This is a great website that offers thousands of short stories from famous American authors including Mark Twain and Edgar Allan Poe. The authors names are listed alphabetically and then the stories are listed after you click on the name of the author you choose. I would have the students in my classroom go to this website and pick a story to read. They would then have to go in front of the class and give a brief summary of the story. If there was a story that I really liked then I would read it aloud to the students. I think the main goal of this site is to offer free stories from some favorite American authors. It is great because many students don't hear about these authors or get a chance to read their works until middle or high school.
