UPCOMING TESTS/MAJOR ASSIGNMENTS
1. There will be a test over the book on Tuesday, May 5.  (Anyone taking an AP exam that day can make it up in class on Wednesday, May 6.)

2. You got back your review exercise today.  Go over the answers on the question sheet; look up ones you were not sure or about (or simply guessed).  We will check for accuracy on Monday. 

3.  Remember that the writing assignment for Frankenstein needs to be handed in both formats--turnitin.com by the start of the school day on Monday, and a hard copy for an in-class activity. If you've been absent and didn't get an assignment sheet yesterday, here it is:
 (Sorry, I can't close up the spacing on this copy and paste version.)

FINAL QUESTION ON Frankenstein  (40 assessment points)

 
Defend or refute (attack) ONE of the following propositions:

 
A)  Although the creature may be more readily seen as “the monster,” the consequences of Victor Frankenstein’s own behavior, attitudes, and failure to act make him “monstrous” as well.

 
B) Although by losing his brother, best friend, well-loved family servant, wife, and indirectly, his father, Victor Frankenstein certainly suffered harm at the hands of the creature, the creature himself has a stronger claim to being a “victim.”
