 CLASS SYNOPSIS 
Students will enjoy the spooky fall season and holiday by studying this classic book by Mary Shelley through analysis, and discussion.

OVERVIEW
    • This is a read-and-discuss course. Discussion revolves around analysis based on the chapters read.  Content listed below “CONTENT”
    • Students will read 5 chapters prior to each class
    • The class will engage in analytical discussion revolving around instructor prompts/questions

CONTENT
    • Frankenstein provides several opportunities for rich analytical discussion.
    • Literary element instruction (as opportunity presents itself from the text)
    • In order to develop a well-rounded analysis of the novel, students will be instructed on the biographical information of the author (Mary Shelley), as well as the historical setting in which the novel was written in (Victorian + Gothic Lit).  Students will create connections between this information, and the content of the novel throughout the course. 
    • Class discussion will revolve around the following novel-centered themes:
        ‣ Innocence & Corruption
        ‣ Ambition
        ‣ Natural order vs Scientific discovery
        ‣ Responsibility
        ‣ Loneliness
        ‣ Mental illness / madness
        ‣ Psychology
        ‣ Creation and creator

 TEACHING STYLE
    • I want my students to discuss, interact, and learn from each other! Every chance I get,  I will encourage them to respond to others ideas
    • I hope to facilitate conversation, protect think-time, and pose questions that provoke deeper thought based on the central text. 
    • I hope that students feel as welcomed to think as they are challenged in their thinking. 
    • While I will challenge students to think deeply, their perspective will always be encouraged and celebrated.  
    • I love interacting with my students!  I will be apart of the conversation as well 😁
    • Lecture-style lessons will be taught to ensure all students comprehend concepts and themes
