ELA
Shmoop's the word.
Shmoop started as a way to bring literature to life. And while we've expanded into pretty much every other subject under the sun, English Language Arts still hold a special place in our hearts. Our ELA resources run the gamut from courses on classic literature to glossaries that define words like zeugma. Browse all our resources, and join the ranks of Shmoop Bookworms.
