You might not have taken an AP (Advanced Placement) English course in high school, but on the website edsitement.neh.gov you can "study" 21 Poems for AP Literature and Composition. These are poems frequently taught in AP English Lit and Composition classes.
For each of the twenty-one poems, there are resources including audio clips and video, primary source documents and photographs, timelines, and, of course, poems.
For example, Robert Frost's “Mending Wall” is one selection, and the site offers The Poem, About this Poem from the Poetry Foundation, On “Mending Wall” from Modern American Poetry, a lesson "Mending Wall": A Marriage of Poetic Form and Content, and more about Robert Frost from Voices and Visions.
School is closed for the summer, but some AP students are assigned summer reading and might be assigned some of these poems. Well, here is some help from the teacher's file cabinet. And for the rest of us, we can do some summer school and not have to worry about tests, homework, or grades.
