Our AP Literature seniors recently wrapped up their study of Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus. To deepen their understanding of the novel, students engaged in a series of creative and analytical culminating activities, including sculpting original “creatures” with Play-Doh, writing and performing dramatic skits, and leading a thoughtful Socratic Seminar that explored the complexities and nuances of the novel.
Through these activities, students showcased their ability to interpret complex texts, bring key scenes to life, and engage in critical discussion of the novel’s Romantic and Gothic elements, intertextual influences, and Shelley’s craft as an author. The students' work reflects both impressive creativity and strong literary insight and provided a fun and engaging capstone for the unit of study.
