For my masters thesis project at New York University this semester, I aim to create a technology-based learning environment to help high school students become familiar with the historical periods of the novels they read in class.

It is my experience that students have trouble connecting with the setting, politics, environment, landscape, architecture and context of most eras of classic literature.

Before I begin, I would like to hear from high school English / literature teachers.  I have created a short, two-question survey to help understand which time periods students struggle with and what techniques teachers use to help students become familiar with the context of a novel.

If you are a high school English teacher, please take a moment and fill out the survey below.  If you know a high school English teacher, please pass this along.
