Grade Level 11 Anchor Text: "Frankenstein" Mary Shelley
Objectives: Examine the ways in which prior knowledge and personal experience affect the understanding of written, spoken, or multimedia text. Interpret the meaning of written, spoken, and visual texts by drawing on different cultural, theoretical, and critical perspectives. Recognize the conventions of visual and multimedia presentations (e.g., lighting, camera angle, special effects, color, and soundtrack) and how they carry or influence messages. Examine the intersections and distinctions between visual (media images, painting, film, and graphic arts) and verbal communication. Demonstrate appropriate social skills of audience, group discussion, or work team behavior by listening attentively and with civility to the ideas of others, gaining the floor in respectful ways, posing appropriate questions, and tolerating ambiguity and lack of consensus.
Length-2 class periods over a two week period. Most work is done outside of the classroom.
Description: After reading the novel, students gain an understanding that the creature in the novel and the modern day version of popular Frankenstein are not the same. Students are required to make a video of one of the scenes in the novel as Shelley meant for it to be depicted. Then students follow up with a scene of a 20th century version of the antagonist.
Process: Students choose groups of 3-4. Students submit a plan of what scene they will be filming and a copy of the dialogue. Students then film the scenes outside of school. On a set date, videos are shared using moviemaker software. |
