1. Take out notes on "Rime of the Ancient Mariner". For today you were asked to examine the four following questions in reference to both Frankenstein and "Rime".
a. How are they both haunted by the dead?
b. How do characters deal with their isolation?
c. How do characters bring about their own destruction?
d. How is guilt addressed in both texts?
e. How do both texts function as a cautionary tale?
Small groups will discuss each question and fill out the accompanying notes page.
Frankenstein/Rime Notes
For Wednesday:
Socratic seminar on Frankenstein. Final assignment grades before the final.
Frankenstein Socratic Seminar Preparation
WRITTEN PREPARATION: Choose two of the following discussion questions to answer IN DETAIL, using specific textual support and literary terminology (where needed) in your response. You will have an introduction, thesis, textual evidence, and conclusion. Please choose a variety of questions (so don’t simply scan through and choose the most simplistic ones). Challenge yourself philosophically and in a literary sense. If it a philosophical question, not referencing Frankenstein specifically, bring your response back to the primary text.
SEMINAR PREPARATION: Read through the remaining questions and adequately prepare yourself to be able to discuss them in depth. Your seminar grade will be based on the thoroughness with which you do discuss. (For example: providing sufficient evidence/ support from the novel, drawing appropriate conclusions from a close reading of the novel, demonstrating your knowledge of the novel both on a surface level and deeper level, and demonstrating higher level thinking skills, etc.) You certainly may write some of your own additional questions as well; however, that is not a requirement.

Friday, May 4th- Final project work
Monday, May 7th- Final project work
