The "Picture-Perfect" Family...

In your notebooks for Thursday, Rock-tober 29, explain how society defines/describes the "picture-perfect" family. Then, discuss how you define/describe the "picture-perfect" family. List your thoughts, or write out in complete sentences.

Frankie Post #2 and Gothic/Rom. Vocab. Poem!

By this point you should have read over Stephen Witty's article, "183 years after its literary birth, Mary Shelley's monster lives on." Your second post should be a personal reaction to what C. Schildt states what Mary Shelley was really writing about (bottom left of back page). Incorporate a textual passage from the article as well as a textual passage from the novel (quote and cite). Length: 2 paragraphs; 15 pts; due by Wed., Rock-tober 21 - midnight...muh ha ha! (do you hear the monster in me? :))

Hopefully you are ardently working on your vocabulary that you have culled or gleaned from the novel, and are starting to gather up ideas for your poem. Please do not wait until the last minute to get this done. Again, you have until Mon., Rock-tober 26th! You really do not want to hear the monster in me!!

Nice job with the debate about creating a "bride"!

Well done, juniors! I have really enjoyed watching you debate this very controversial topic. You have been thoughtful, insightful, mature, and persuasive.

Continue to read - chs. 20 - 21, log #7, and voc. due Fri., 10/9. Find out if Victor holds up his end of the bargain!!! Uh - oh...and please finish the book and the logs by Tuesday, 10/13.

Remember, your first post should be done by this weekend - let me know if you have any problems getting onto your blog. The explanation for your post is on the Blog direction/info sheet given to you when you created it, as well as down below in an earlier post of mine.
