ENG4U Unit 3: Frankenstein

Students retell the creation night from the Creature's view, hold a council on Justine's trial, build a Romantic sublime gallery, debate nature or nurture, run an ethics panel on the female companion and compare three endings. They learn to find and evaluate scholarly criticism, put Victor on trial and write a creators' code for modern science and technology.

Assessment of learning: the tribunal (The Creature v. Victor Frankenstein) and a researched literary essay using two critical sources, with rubrics.
