Block Day, November 17-18

I. Book check: I checked your Frankenstein books for the last set of annotations and discussion questions. Overall, I was pleased with the level of annotation that you delivered. For the next book, I'd like to work on adding literary terms and more connections as you notice them.

II. Discussion: We had a rousing discussion about the last set of chapters and the book in general. Each class was unique in its direction, but overall, I think the unanimous sentiment is that Victor Frankenstein is "extremely annoying". Most of you bristled at his selfishness and his uncanny ability to faint at the first sign of trouble - requiring at least three months of convalescence each time.

III. Monster Mosaic Project: I had you sign up for a Wikispace and we had a workshop on working with the WYSIWYG editor. Wow, what a wicked wealth of W words.
