The Man...the Myth...the Legend... Frankenstein!

Funded Oct 13, 2022

I cannot thank you enough for contributing the funds to purchase copies of Frankenstein for my sophomores. Your generosity made it possible for us to explore this iconic novel in all the fun yet rigorous ways I have done in the past, and then some!

This group of students (the AMAZING Class of 2025!) has gone above and beyond all year in their levels of commitment to excellence, whether in the realm of writing, discussing, or performing; with respect to the Frankenstein unit, your kids wrote and performed persuasive speeches from the perspective of a lawyer representing either Victor or his monster (who we nicknamed Bob). They also closely analyzed the text for the literary and rhetorical techniques Mary Shelley employed while writing the novel. Additionally, they imagined the Frankenstein narrative in a new way by writing and producing movie trailers that differed in style from its original form as a tale of gothic romance. And those are just a handful of the challenging learning journeys we took with this novel!

The bottom line, however, is that this incredible literary experience would not have been possible for your 10th graders if you had not donated to this project. I am truly humbled and thankful to have wonderful parents like you on my side, ones who are ready, willing, and able to help me teach their children with the excellence they so deserve.”

With gratitude,
