Victorian Era?

Before I researched the Victorian Era I basically knew that it was a time period in England and there was a playwright named Oscar Wilde who wrote a play called The Importance of being Earnest which I hadn't read. Even in the beginning of the project, I was still quite confused about what exactly went on during that time period and how it related to the play we were about to read. After a few periods of researching, I wrote my first question. And thats when it finally clicked-the play was set in the Victorian Era!

Over the next few days, I struggled to find questions that would help me learn about components of the Era that would be actually relevent. I learned a lot about the Victorian Era while doing this and it greatly contributed to my understanding of this play. Looking back, although writing those questions was tedious, I don't think I would have enjoyed or understood the play as much if I had not done the project.
