Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein
Oral Presentations (August, 30th & September,1st)
Analysis of:
Characters (1 student).
The role of Nature and natural surroundings in the novel (1 student).
Gothic elements present in the novel (2 students - see file N°36)
The criticism this novel proyects towards science (1 student).
The structure of the novel (1 student).
I've decided to publish the task in the blog since, apparently, we are not having classes next Tuesday due to a teachers' meeting at Terrero.
ResponderEliminarThe idea is to give oral presentations on the novel but this time it will be in a different way, we are all going to be sitting in a circle and the aim of this task is to take part in the analysis of each of these aspects of Frankenstein more actively. In other words, one of you is going to be in charge of the chosen aspect and he/she will lead the discussion, but the rest of you is also going to take part in it. I hope it is clear. Please, any comments or doubts, do write here.
Also, do let me know the aspect you've chosen asap.
ResponderEliminarHi Constanza, I can prepare the first aspect "Characters" if nobody has chosen it yet. Anyway, today we are having clases, aren't we? we can talk about this in the class, I have no problen in choosing any other aspect.
ResponderEliminarGreat, Mariel! This aspect is yours, then.
ResponderEliminarAnyway, today we are going to talk about this task in class.

Hi! I can deal with the structure of the novel if it's allright to everyone, otherwise I have no problem in changing this aspect.
ResponderEliminarI would like to know if there is any specific text from which to take the information we need.
Hi there! Hope everyone had a nice week =)
ResponderEliminarIf it's ok with the rest I'd like to take over the topic of "The role of Nature and natural surroundings"
See you all! enjoy your holidays =)
No problem Mary Jo and Gregorio, these aspects are yours.
ResponderEliminarEnjoy your holidays!
Hi, y'all! I want to take on The criticism this novel proyects towards science. I found some very interesting topics to go along with that. Constanza, do you think you could email me some reference material I can use to support any topics that may arise?
ResponderEliminarPerfect, Martina! That aspect is yours, then.
ResponderEliminarHave a look at this article:

Thanks for the tip. I hand't even thought of those topicas, and being a true believer in gender equality, I wholly agree with Ms. Mellor.
ResponderEliminarhmmm guess I read the blog too late....well, guess the only one left is the one on" Gothic elements present in the novel" right? count me in then! Holidays aren´t such when you have two kids at home! :)
ResponderEliminarNo rocio, I think I am the last one to read the blog :s and there are no topics for me, what shall I do?
ResponderEliminaraaaaah, the same topic that Rocio, I hadn´t read "2 students"... :)
ResponderEliminarSo, Rocío and Daiana are going to prepare "Gothic elements in Frankenstein" since this aspect needs to be developed by two students, as described in the task.
ResponderEliminarHi Constanza! I want to know which are the dates for the oral presentation, because the 24th is Wednesday and the 27th is Saturday.. is it on the 23rd and 26th? or is it this week? thank you!!
ResponderEliminarSorry! I've just mended it.
