About this resource
What's inside this resource
This is a lesson plan lasting 90 minutes focused on the classic book Frankenstein, authored by Mary Shelley. Shelley composed Frankenstein at the age of 19, and it was released the next year in 1818. The novel narrates the tale of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist seeking the key to life who produces the hideous being in a clandestine experiment.
The lesson plan incorporates the video summary of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein by Video SparkNotes. A separate printable worksheet for students contains numerous questions. The responses are given individually at the conclusion.
The lesson is perfect for students in Grades 9 through 12. Frankenstein is full of meanings. It implies that social isolation is the main source of evil as well as its consequence. The Monster clearly states that his separation from humanity has led him to become a killer: “My guardians had left, severing the sole connection that tied me to the world.
