Frankenstein novel/ blogs

Both of the senior english classes started reading Frankenstein on Monday. Mrs. Walder had them do a blog on what you know about Frankenstein. On Monday,they did a crossword puzzle about the book and the author. Mrs. Walder said, "There are study guides, projects, and at the end of the novel we will be watching the film and doing a comparison with the novel."

Walder also said, "This will help us in the future by reading comprehension will be useful in any career field that students choose. For example, if a student is going to be a mechanic, they will need to read manuals or magazines to learn about the new cars that are coming out. They will need to know how they operate and how to repair them also." Frankenstein is a novel that stretches students' imaginations to think about what could be in the world of science, biology, and medicine. Students also think about the power that humans may one day attain over birth and death. Walder said the seniors read a novel to expose students to another culture, learn literary devices used by the author and practice reading comprehension strategies.
