Frankenstein Focused Study Project
Your group’s task will be to
teach a two day lesson from the areas of study for Frankenstein assigned
to you. Essentially, you will spend a
day on each of your topics, though you will have some freedom to use the time
as you see fit. Below you will find the
requirements for the lesson and the criteria by which you will be graded.

A. A fully developed written lesson plan turned in prior
to the lesson.
