My Take
I utilize this teaching tool for students who have missed direct teacher instruction and need assistance with difficult text. If the ads were removed, it would be easier to focus on text; however, the split page makes it easy to students to compare the classical language with today's language.
How I Use It
I use this site to assist students with difficult text to better understand plot and characterization. The only problem is the right side of the screen with all the ads. This is somewhat distracting.
