Frankenstein We have finished reading Chapter 9 where Victor has realized all his fears were justified as the Monster killed his brother. Unfortunately, the nanny Justine was brought to trail and found guilty of killing Willilam. Students will be spending time this week learning about newspapers and how a report writes a story. They will "put themselves" in the courtroom during Justine's trail and write an article about the unfolding of events. They must use descriptive words in writing about the characters, setting and events. This will reinforce our new standard of plot structure and character analysis. |
