When thinking about back-to-school resources for the secondary English Language Arts teacher in your life, first on the list should be the eBook High School Collection [ [link removed] ] in the Michigan eLibrary [ [link removed] ]. With free access to hundreds of full-text literary classics, anthologies, short stories, grammar books, hi-lo titles, biographies, writing guides and analyses, MeL offers a wide range of content to support student learning. Additionally, links to individual titles and search result lists can easily be added to any classroom learning management system.

*Literature, Analysis, Criticism & Study Guides*

If students are just getting their feet wet with the classics, then there are a wealth of titles by and about individual authors like Herman Melville [ [link removed] ], Nathaniel Hawthorne [ [link removed] ], and Jack London [ [link removed] ].  There are also over 300 Shakespeare-related texts [ [link removed] ], offering full-length plays, sonnets, criticism and analysis. To help struggling readers, many of these titles are found in Saddleback’s Illustrated Classics [ [link removed] ] series which have several companion study guides [ [link removed](+black+and+white+cinema+)&type=1&searchMode=And&site=ehost-live&scope=site ].

*Grammar & Writing*

Whether learners need a review of the 12 (conjugated) verb tenses [ [link removed] ] (You knew there were 12, right?) or a simple refresh, "Everyday Grammar Made Easy" [ [link removed] ] is easy to follow with readable charts and a detailed index. Also found in this collection is the "APA/MLA Guidelines -7th & 8th Editions: A Quick Study Digital Reference Guide. This guide includes quick tips on academic integrity, formatting, mechanics, research, style, and citation. [ [link removed] ]"

*Hi-Lo Books*

According to Rinaldi & Averill in the text, "Practical Ways to Engage All Struggling Readers: A Multi-tiered Instructional Approach Using Hi-Lo Book"s [ [link removed] ], “Hi-lo books offer struggling readers access to well-written and compelling fiction and nonfiction across all grades. These books present age-appropriate content—something that will grab a student’s interest (i.e., high-interest)—at a readability level that is accessible (i.e., low-readability).” There are hundreds of hi-lo readers [ [link removed] ] within the MeL eResources. One series that is especially popular with secondary students is the Orca Soundings series [ [link removed] ].

There is much more to explore in the eBook High School Collection, including countless biographies and memoirs [ [link removed] ], titles on society and social issues [ [link removed](+society+or+culture+)+OR+(+social+issues+or+social+problems+)&type=1&searchMode=And&site=ehost-live&scope=site ], and mental health texts for teens [ [link removed]*&type=1&searchMode=And&site=ehost-live&scope=site ].
