Thursday 4/16 - 35 Days Remaining

OBJ - Students will create a personal connection to a central theme in the story Frankenstein through various activities and discussion.  Students will prepare for the Frankenstein EXAM - Friday 4/17.


Sorry I am out today - didn't plan to be, but woke up with a migraine.  Email me if you have any problems or questions with the assignment (richard.davis@sfisd.org) and I will get back to you ASAP.



CWoD - HUBRIS



For the last day in class, we will continue working on the Frankenstein Comic Strip Project - You will create 6 frames(slides) that should provide setting, characters, dialogue, and narration. You should also have a "title" slide that shows your name, chapter, and an original name for your chapter that cleverly foreshadows the events. That's 7 slides total - you should copy and paste art from the Internet. You must include text from the novel as well.  See previous days for additional instructions, examples, and assigned chapters for this work.


We will combine our work as a class to create our own, online, Frankenstein graphic novels.

Tomorrow, we will also test over the novel - review info for the test was on yesterday's blog,  There's a brief multiple choice section worth 40 points and then you'll choose two of the essay topics which will be worth 30 points apiece (responses should be roughly 150 words or 3/4 of a page assuming 8 words per line).  You will be allowed a printed copy of the novel on the test, but no notes or computers, etc.
