Literature Classics
Classic texts explored with stunning animation
Beautiful animations exploring classic texts from The Odyssey and Moby Dick, to The Jungle Book and Frankenstein
Makematic has created 25 fully animated videos on some of the best known books in history; from The Odyssey, to Moby Dick, to The Jungle Book, Frankenstein and many more.
In each episode we explore the reasons why that particular book is known as a classic. The age suitability is 10 years and older and perfect for middle and high school students.
We learn about the author and the social-historical context it was written in. The themes in the book as well as the main protagonists are explored. At the end of each video the question, as to why we should still read these books and why they’ve become classics, is answered.
These videos can be used on their own or can be combined with our series on Literature Genres and Movements or Skills & Standards series, completing an ELA collection of more than 120 videos. All are available to license now.
