Frankenstein Summary

After creating a monster who killed and destroyed many of his family and friends, Dr. Victor Frankenstein has chased the creature to the North Pole, where he encounters a ship led by Captain Walton on an expedition. Near death, Victor recounts his story to Walton, to stop Walton from making Frankenstein's mistake: searching for glory at all costs. The captain relays this story to his wife, in a series of letters.

Early Life: Victor is part of a well-to-do family in Geneva. He is the oldest son of loving parents, Alphonse and Caroline Beaufort Frankenstein. The altruistic family adopts Elizabeth Lavenza, an orphan. As Victor is about to go off to school, his mother dies of scarlet fever. Caroline's dying wish for Victor is to marry Elizabeth.

Cut off from his family, and pouring himself into his work at Ingolstadt University, Victor Frankenstein learned the secret to creating life. After raiding graveyards for human limbs and organs, he builds a creature, and brings it to life. Beholding the result, Frankenstein runs from his creation in terror.

Soon after, he becomes sick. When he awakes, the monster is gone, to Victor's relief. However, he hears that his younger brother, William, has been killed, and the family maid, Justine, is suspected. Victor returns home to Geneva and knows immediately that the monster, not Justine, is responsible for William's death, but Victor does not say anything in fear that people would not believe him. Justine sentenced to hang.

While vacationing, Frankenstein discovers the monster has been following him. Confronting his creator, the creature tells Frankenstein how hard his life has been. He was forced to learn everything on his own. After some time, he took shelter in a small shed attached to the home of former French aristocrats. He observed them through a peephole and learned by watching them. He wants desperately to feel companionship, but is despised by humans because of his unnatural appearance. The monster sought out Frankenstein to make him a bride, so that he would not be alone. Williams' death was caused by the creature out of spite, and the monster threatens to kill more people if he does not get his wish.

Under duress, Frankenstein agrees to begin working on a mate for the creature. However, he never finishes, breaking his promise. The monster kills his friend, Clerval, and vows he will see Frankenstein on his wedding day. Victor assumes he himself is the target, but the creature kills his wife, Elizabeth, instead. Victor Frankenstein is left as alone in the world, much like the monster he created.

Seeking revenge, Frankenstein follows the monster north. It is here he runs into Walton and the expedition. After telling the crew this unbelievable story, he dies. The monster comes in to pay his last respects, and tells Walton that he intends to set himself on fire.

In the end, Walton turns his expedition back, partially because his men tell him to, and partially to heed the moral of Frankenstein, and Shelly's, story: some achievements are not worth the cost.

The Graveyard Book

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Neil Gaiman was inspired to write The Graveyard Book, in part, by his love of . He envisioned his story as a series of discrete episodes, capturing the coming-of-age experiences of the young protagonist. This episodic format is evident in Gaiman's novel as the narration jumps forward, sometimes a few years at a time, capturing day to day adventures in Bod's life alongside the more significant, life-changing moments. Like Mowgli in The Jungle Book, Bod's character is conveyed through his interactions with a variety of different characters. Each episode is significant for the way it develops Bod's character and expands our understanding of his world.

Essential Questions for The Graveyard Book

How is death portrayed in this book? How does it differ from living?

What role do communities play in raising children?

What makes The Graveyard Book Gothic literature?

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Legends

Stories seem to survive year after year in every school about previous students and teachers. People tell stories all the time and exaggeration is common. Many times the fish was "this big" at each telling, but the space between the outstretched hands always seem to grow. There are neighborhood stories about a "witch" who lives alone on the hill. A story is all it takes to start a legend.

Legends are all around us. A legend is a story that has been passed down repeatedly, usually with exaggerated information. Legends are based on a real person, place, or event, and typically involve fantastic feats of some kind. Johnny Appleseed, King Arthur, and Robin Hood all have legends associated with them. While they were real people in a fixed time period, the stories passed down about them have obvious elements of fiction and fantasy.

Legends begin as a real story - though the facts may be a bit muddy even from the start. Legends grow and change with every telling. Sometimes changes are made or exaggerated to make the tale more exciting to those who hear it, or to teach a lesson. In this story, Washington Irving relates the start of a new legend, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow".

Additional Activity Ideas for "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow"

Create a graphic novel version of the story.

Rewrite the story from the point of view of Ichabod Crane (or Brom Bones).

Compare and contrast the characterizations of Ichabod Crane and Brom Bones in a T-Chart.

Create a storyboard that illustrates Ichabod's imaginativeness with evidence from the text.

Explore and depict themes, motifs, and symbols.

Examine Irving's use of humor in the text by creating comic strips.

A Quick Synopsis of "The Tell-Tale Heart" (Contains Plot Spoilers)

The story begins with the unnamed narrator wanting to prove his sanity to the readers. He lived in the same building as an old man with a "vulture eye". As the story progresses, the reader learns that the narrator has become upset by the old man's eye, which is a piercing blue color, with a white film over it. Tension builds as the narrator describes how his obsession has taken over, and he plots to kill the old man to get rid of the eye's gaze. Each night, the narrator goes into the old man's room as he sleeps, intending to kill him. He cannot do it when the man is asleep, because his eyes are shut, and he looks peaceful. One night, the narrator creeps in and startles the old man, who screams. As the narrator glares at the eye, he finally musters the strength to rid himself of the eye and smothers the old man with his mattress. The narrator meticulously hides the body under the floorboards.

Soon after, the police arrive because a neighbor heard a scream. The narrator covers up the incident by saying the old man is out of town, and that the scream came from him. As the police are looking around, the narrator begins to hear a peculiar ticking sound; he quickly becomes mad as the sound grows fiercer in his mind. To the narrator, he believes he is hearing the sound of the old man's heart still beating, finally leading him to confess in a moment of insanity.

The Raven

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
"The Raven" is one of Edgar Allan Poe's most famous works. The poem takes place just after midnight on a December evening. A depressed man is sitting in his library, drifting in and out of sleep as he reminisces about Lenore, his dead lover.

Suddenly, he hears a knock, but sees nothing on opening his door. Startled, he convinces himself it was only the wind against the window. He goes to the window to let in fresh air, and a raven swoops in, who perches above the door.

The narrator talks to the bird, and inquires if it has a name. The raven says, "Nevermore". Surprised by this response, the narrator continues to question the bird. The bird's only reply to questions is, "Nevermore".

The narrator fears the bird was sent to torture him. He asks a final question: will he ever hold his love, Lenore, again? The raven, of course, answers, "Nevermore". It becomes clear throughout the poems that the man is delirious and distraught over the loss of his love.

If a student is on the "red" team and sees a letter for the "green" team he/she just leaves it alone. The first team to cover their banner letters wins. (TP: F: spelling).

Spooky Finger. Only do this with older kids as it is quite scary! Make a small hole in the bottom of a small cottage cheese container - any similar container will do - and put some cotton in the bottom. Stick your middle finger through the hole and bend it inward. Let the rest of your fingers grip the container naturally. Arrange the cotton around your finger to hide the hole. Cover the container and ask one of your unsuspecting students to remove the lid. When s/he does, move the finger up and down. (TP: AA: let your students make a finger box).

Trick or Treat Game. Place slips of paper in a brown lunch bag. On each write down a different "trick" such as "hop on one foot" or "close your eyes and touch your nose." Have each child in turn, say, "trick or treat" and draw a paper from the bag. When s/he performs the "trick" say "treat" and give him/her either a Halloween sticker or a candy. (TP: V: action verbs, trick, treat).

What's in the Box? Paint a cardboard box black with a hole cut out to put hands into. All sorts of things can be placed in the box and the students have to put their hands in the box and try to guess what the object is. Great fun! (TP: None).

Who am I Ghost? Blindfold one student. The other students stand in circle around the blindfolded student. Spin the student around and then stop him/her facing another student. S says "Whooooooo (like a ghost). Who am I?". The blindfolded S must guess who that student is and call out his/her name. (TP: F: asking people to identify themselves).

Word Find. Supplies: timer, paper, pens. Divide students into teams. Take a Halloween related word such as: Dracula, Frankenstein, Jack-O-Lantern, etc. and find as many words as possible using the letters of that word. Give a time limit (e.g. 2 mins). The team with the most words wins! Example: Frankenstein: (in, ran, ant, nest, tin...). (TP: F: Spelling).
