ENG Writing Task and Replies 8

Point System

(Total 10 pts. – 6 pts. for your post; 2 pts. for each reply to a classmates’ post)

To earn the full 6 points for a writing task to each topic, your task must adhere to the following:

· 2 paragraphs, or an estimated 10 sentences in length per paragraph (though, i.e. SUBSTANTIAL)

· Paragraphs needs to be responsive to question and substantive, posting comments or questions that enhanced the discussion, helped move the conversation forward. These may have included follow-up questions, examples, or new perspectives.

For this post, I want you to surprise me. Take a passage or small section from any section of the novel and write a brief meditation on the text -- what themes/plots/moods are you noticing emerging from the novel? Write a response with questions you have about the plot, characters, form (letters), or setting. Think about your experience as a reader forming meaning from Frankenstein--what and where is your critical eye drawn to? As usual, make sure you craft your argument of your mini-analysis using quotes as evidences.

Read: Finish entire Mary Shelley, Frankenstein (1818)

Watch: Judith Butler video

Requirements:

I also expect you to quote from the text. When you do so, please use proper quotation and citation adhering to MLA style with the line # in parentheses and a / to indicate a line break. For example:

 The Beowulf poet writes, "Often, for undaunted courage, / Fate spares the man it has not already marked" (l.572-3).

· 2 paragraphs of 10 sentences each

· For the replies. 4 sentences for each thread of classmates.
