The 60second Recap wants to make the great works of literature accessible, relevant, and, frankly, irresistible to today’s teens. Through our 60second Recap video albums, we seek to help teens engage with the best books out there… not just to help them get better grades, but to help them build better lives.
Smirk if you must. Consider this yet another mile-marker on civilization’s road to perdition. But here’s the fact: You won’t get non-readers to read by forcing them to read more. You’ll get them to read by opening their eyes to the marvels awaiting them between the covers of that homework assignment.
With the 60second Recap, teens finally have an alternative to the boring, text-based study guides that have burdened them for generations. And — who knows? — maybe that’s just what they’ll need to begin a love affair with literature, one that will last a lifetime.
