Tarea

1-2 horas por semana. Students will read approximately 40 pages a lesson on their own time. Each lesson, students will have access to the new video and a corresponding one page worksheet with discussion questions and places for fill-in-the blank answers. I assign a short writing assignment focused around the discussion questions. There are also activities like vocabulary words and trivia to test their comprehension from the chapters.

Evaluación

The more questions, comments, and posts that students share in the classroom, the more I can understand their knowledge and comprehension of the topics we are discussing. I respond/give feedback to any message I receive.

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is a classic monster tale about a scientist haunted by his macabre creation. It is the perfect book for discussion and analysis because Shelley's use of language and symbolism can be hard to appreciate and understand when reading alone. Students will read approximately 40 pages a lesson on their own time. Each lesson, a new video will discuss the pages that the students have previously read. This class does not meet live. The prerecorded sessions will emphasize characters, their motivations, theme, story plausibility, and inferences about what might come next. We will also refer to any symbolism within the story and discuss what the author intended to represent with those symbols. We may also discuss the history, politics, ethics, or violence that Shelley references in individual chapters. 

Lesson breakdown: 
Students will receive a worksheet and discussion questions for each video. There is one writing assignment to complete after the lesson's readings. I will post vocabulary words from the reading for the students to use in a sentence that showcases their understanding of the definition. I will also post a link to a Kahoot! trivia game the students can complete to further immerse themselves in this world (and see how much information they have retained from their reading).

Kahoot is a free resource that does not require an account or any additional steps. This quiz is 100% optional.

Metas de aprendizaje

The prerecorded sessions emphasize characters' motivations, theme, and story plausibility. Students will examine their own thoughts through a worksheet, a writing assignment, vocabulary words, and an optional Kahoot! review quiz.

Orientación para padres

From commonsensemedia.org: Parents need to know that the 1818 novel that launched dozens of Hollywood horror movies bears little resemblance to any of them, but is quite creepy enough, flowery prose and all, and, historically speaking, went a long way toward inspiring a genre in which things go very badly for many reels. It's also a mainstay of high school honors literature classes and a good intro to both Gothic literature and science fiction. Its themes of delving into the dark arts will have allure for the Twilight set, while the science project run amok (and the arrogance of its creators) is a subject that remains all too timely. Bigotry alert: One of the subplots involves noble Christian characters who risk all to save a Muslim friend from certain death, and once safe he betrays them to an evil fate.

Lista de útiles escolares

Students will need a copy of Frankenstein to read on their own. It can be borrowed from the library or even listened to as an audio book. The students will not need a physical copy of the story in class, although they may find it helpful to have while filling out their worksheets or working on their writing assignment.

Maestría en Música o Teatro o Artes desde Spalding University

I have a Master's Degree in Creative Writing for Children and Young Adults. I was a substitute teacher for three years before teaching full-time on Outschool. I also currently teach English Composition for my local community college. I have been blessed to discuss classics like Frankenstein in the classroom multiple times, including my own high school reading experience. I learn something new every time I am exposed to this story. It is an excellent book to discuss. While the language can feel cumbersome at times, the themes of violence, friendship, and survival are timeless. I am excited to read this story alongside your student to see what emotions and feelings Shelley's images and descriptions stir up for them.
