While I am Gone (Tuesday 11/1-Thursday, Nov.10): Spoiler alert!

I have linked a complete copy of the Frankenstein questions for writing, quizzes, discussion and the essay to this post. Please don't "Peek" ahead of the reading schedule--thanks! The substitute teacher will guide you through the daily assignments, but please make sure to keep asking questions you think I would ask as you read, and always take notes during your discussions-- all of this will help you better understand the text and triumph on the essay assignment.

One of the assignments you will get for homework AFTER you finish the text will involve you finding an article on medical ethics and writing a "precis" (pray-see) of that article in order to share its contents with the class and practice the form.  There are two very good links on the right side of this blogsite to help you with this task.  Make sure you read the article several times first, taking notes and highlighting as you go.  I can't think of a better way than this to make Frankenstein pertinent to our own times.
Enjoy the rest of the text, and I will see you soon.
