The transcendentalists in American lit have historically been very difficult and dry for my students. I've done a close read of specific sections followed by an infographic project in which students researched concepts valued in transcendentalist writing (environmentalism, civil disobedience, etc.)  It helps make the classics relevant.

So it's non-tech but definitely 21st century.  Here's my google site of Role Play Games in the Classroom.  Best way to marry classic literature is to put students in the literature.
Here is a whole way to role play scenes inside ROmeo and Juliet

I'm planning a digital breakout edu for Julius Caesar that I am hoping with help engage students.  There are really cool facebook groups for sharing and/or buying digital breakouts that go with classic literature.

After students read a chapter of Huck Finn (or any classic) they can watch a section of the movie that corresponds to that chapter through edpuzzle and respond to compare and contrast questions.

Quizziz is a fun and quick way to add interest and motivation to reading quizzes the day after students are asked to read a chapter or section for homework.

Threaded discussions on canvas, google classroom, schoology, or edmodo are an interesting way for students to respond to classic lit. Instead of each student working on their own paper to answer response questions in the traditional model, in threaded online discussions, struggling students can get a variety of content ideas from peers and language learners can see a lot more language modeling,

Flipgrid is great for giving students a voice in the classroom when responding to classic literature. If students are working toward writing an argument that uses textual evidence at the end of a novel, the teacher can strategically set up guideposts throughout the unit so that students are storing related textual evidence on a grid. This will make it much easier (and more fun) for students to review their evidence and make choices about the best pieces to use in the final essay. English learners and below grade level readers can listen to other students discussing the book as many times as they need to before starting the performance task or essay.

I've seen students create Twitter accounts for characters in classic lit, tweeting their point of view regarding events.  Especially cool when they create a feed for characters with opposing points of view in the story.
