4 Any volunteers for tomorrow?

5 I need 2 volunteers to read a scene between Frankenstein and his creation… As you read, pause after each paragraph!

6 Journal Entry You are Victor Frankenstein. What are your thoughts as you follow your creation to his hut on the mountain? What do you expect him to say? Do you feel guilty? Afraid? Angry? Some optional sentence starters, if you get stuck: My creation is so __________, but I expected him to be _____. If only I had________, William might still be alive. When I first brought this creature to life, I never expected __________.

7 Let’s take another look at our characterization chart for Frankenstein’s monster…

8 Answer this question in Literature Circles: Should Victor Frankenstein have responsibility for his creation? What is that reasonability? What is Frankenstein’s role as the monster’s creator? 1. Bookworm- Find quotes from the text to support the answer your group comes up with. Think about what Frankenstein and his creation say to each other in the scene that we read. 2. Contemporary Connector- Can you think of how this question might apply to other situations in a real-life context? 3. Instigator- Think of a way to argue the opposite side of the issue. Spark a discussion! 4. Thought-provoker- Come up with a related question to add to your discussion.

9 Share 1 important point your group made, or a question you came up with.

10 Don’t forget to read chapter 11 for homework! If you missed any assignments, they’re all updated on the blog
