AS Literature

Frankenstein Reading Journal

Throughout our study of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein your homework each week will be to:
1. Read one or two chapters of the novel
2. Read the relevant section of the Frankenstein Study Pack
3. Answer the accompanying questions in your exercise books.

How to access the study pack:
Go to the AS Literature page on Moodle > Scroll down to the folder labelled ‘Gareth Watts’ > Open (or, more sensibly ‘Save’ and download the pack to your own computer) the file labelled ‘Frankenstein Study Pack’ > Scroll Down to the appropriate page(s) as outlined in the plan below.

Schedule
Your exercise books will be checked regularly to ensure you are keeping up with the reading and activities. It is imperative that you complete this independent work – reading the novel outside of the classroom gives us more time in class for analysis, discussion and exam preparation.
