Dear Members:
My name is Ginger Matthews and I am developing a series of interactive
CD-ROM titles on the most frequently assigned classic books in junior
High school, high school and college. This series is intended to be very
straight forward and, unlike some other multimedia titles, requires a
great deal of thinking on the part of the student. Understandably, the
junior high school level will be more graphic and interactive, but I
refuse to let it be a game, or make studying too easy. These titles are
designed to be challenging.

By far, the most frequently purchased Cliff's Notes is the one for
Huckleberry Finn. Hence, I'm developing this title first. Hence, I am
addressing you for help.

Here's my dilemma. I have many bibliographic sources for the text,
thereby making the writing of book and chapter summaries relatively
easy. I would, however, appreciate any input from you about this
process. But these titles are meant to illuminate the student about the
author in the best way possible. Much of my intent is to acquire
authentic documents, recordings and video to facilitate  a more
interactive and in-depth learning process. My real need is one of
alternative sources of information.

Here's what I already have on hand:
1. clips from Huckleberry Finn movies. all four of them
2. recording of Mark Twain Tonight by Hal Holbrook
3. Many of the already used and recognized photographs of Mark Twain

What I need from you is:
1. Ideas on where to research for any and all media on Mark Twain. i.e.
unusual books, archives, etc.
2. Titles and names of sources: video, audio and photographic
3. Ideas on how to reach junior high, high school and college students
in the best way possible.
4. Any ideas at all.

A list of the titles to follow Huckleberry Finn Notes, as follows:

The Scarlett Letter
Hamlet
Macbeth
Paradise Lost
Othello
Romeo and Juliet
Brave New World
Death of a Salesman
Great Expectations
Great Gatsby
Lord of the Flies
Moby Dick
The Prince
Tale of Two Cities
To Kill a Mockingbird
Wuthering Heights

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you, sincerely

Ginger Matthews
