Did you know that Frankenstein is actually the scientist behind the monster, not the monster's name? The Eighth graders are reading Gris Grimly's Frankenstein and they get to dive into the story and use details from the text to create their own monster. Grimly’s cool illustrations and Shelley's original ideas give them plenty to think about, like why Frankenstein made the creature and how people reacted to it. By looking at descriptions of the monster and its personality, students can imagine what their version of a creature might look like and why it acts the way it does. It’s a fun way to connect with the book and think about bigger ideas like feeling alone or being misunderstood.
