April 25/26

AGENDA:

1) Discuss horror genre with homework questions
2) Comparisons - language in novel vs. movies
3) POV Victor/the Monster

HW: Complete book including afterward by Monday, April 30 

Prepare for Dr. Phil assignment:

We live in an imperfect world. Some days we may feel as though we are dealing with a monster. Every once in a while, we may even feel as though we ARE the monster. How can we come to terms with the people who have hurt us? How can we atone for the hurt we have caused? How can we find something positive to do with our imperfect lives?

Scenario - Can Victor Frankenstein get past his anger and guilt to forgive his monster and accept him as he is? Can the monster get past his anger and loneliness to forgive Frankenstein and find something positive to do with his life? Write the script of their interaction.

It is the afterlife. Dr. Frankenstein and his monster are appearing on the Dr. Phil Show.

You will be graded on how well your script reveals insight into both characters; how well the script reveals insight into all people (universal); how well the script explains the characters’ thoughts and feelings accurately, based on the novel; how well the script is reasonably true to the format of Dr. Phil’s show; and finally, how well one clear problem is presented, discussed, and resolved in a realistic manner. You can also gain or lose points on your commercials. (Keep them relative and clean.)

Format:
Dr. Phil introduces the show and the situation
Dr. Phil introduces the first guest and they talk
Commercial
Dr. Phil introduces other guest and audience hears their side to the story
The three discuss the issues
Commerical (optional)
Dr. Phil summarizes the conflict, solution, possible outcomes.
