Quarter One Extra Credit

Need to earn some extra credit to bump up that grade. Here's a fifty point extra credit assignment. Hand it in by Friday if you're interested. Choose from one of the following options:

1. I've created a map of Frankenstein's journey and Walton's journey. Create a map tracing the travels of the monster. Look to the book for clues as to his path. Free hand drawings welcome.

2. Do a 8 panel condensed comic strip of Frankenstein. Tell the whole story in short form. Use your own story for this.

3. Choose three gothic elements and create me a Frankenstein movie poster using these as inspirations.

4. Movie poster option, but related to "Ozymandias" or "Rime of the Ancient Mariner"

5. Go and rent Young Frankenstein, the classic Frankenstein parody starring Gene Wilder and the dad from Everyone Loves Raymond. Pick one major instance of parody and discuss in 150-250 words. Why was it funny, important, or how did it relate to any of the major themes we discussed?
