The Count of Monte Cristo part 3

This is the final and last segment of the Monte Cristo series. Our last task before our mini-book club was disbanded was to present our findings in a way that would be interesting for others. None of us in the group are particularly tech savvy but this digital civilization class has really given us a lot of fun opportunities to stretch ourselves and use the incredible new tools that are available to us in the 21st century. Since you can't get much more 21st century than YouTube, that's where we decided to focus our efforts.

The Count of Monte Cristo part 1

For my digital civilization class we were assigned mini book clubs. In my 'mini book club' were First Lieutenant Andrew DeWitt and Kurt Witt (very distant relation and an interesting story, ask them about it sometime). Our task was to find a book from the romantic time period. Read it, and present our findings to others using a new media. Neither Andrew nor Kurt had seen the Count of Monte Cristo. I think it is such an exciting story that I wanted them to read the book to enjoy it too. I was actually a little jealous because they were going to experience Edmond Dantes' betrayal for the first time.
