Here’s a resource for teachers and students of literature that ought to come in handy for generating summer reading lists. It’s a simple way for a High School Literature teacher to integrate technology while simultaneously creating a springboard for literary discussions and exploration. Literature-Map is a “tourist map of literature” that allows users to input favorite authors as a means of automatically visualizing similar writers. The closer two writers are on the resulting map, the more likely readers will like both of them.
