During our study of Frankenstein we will be recording our responses, thinking beyond the text, and considering the point of view of Victor Frankenstein. The main themes that will act as our lenses for learning will be: unintended consequences; the role of technology; and moral limitations we put on the use of technology.
Each student will contribute to the weekly class blog, posting an approximately 250-word response to the week’s readings. I will post prompts and questions at least once a week, but possibly bi-weekly. You may be asked to post to your blog as a homework assignment in order to engage in the text while the reading is fresh in your mind. Strive for thoughtfulness and nuance when posting your responses.
The rubric for student blog posting can be found on the class wiki. I plan on graded your posts via comments to your entries from time to time. Each graded post will be worth 10 points.
