Students were asked to consider how the use of the epistolary form relates to the theme of isolation and the discussion was directed towards an exploration of the representation of nature with specific focus placed upon ch 9/10. Why does Victor fall to the floor in the penultimate paragraph of ch 9?How has his relationship with the 'majesty' of nature changed?
Students were asked to consider the significance of PB Shelley's 'Mutability' that appears in ch10 and asked to consider why Victor views the inconstant state of the human condition as a negative feature of humanity. Why does Victor struggle to celebrate the mutability of existence?
The lesson moved towards a consideration of coursework. The final section of the lesson involved the introduction of group tasks that will result in a series of presentations next week.
Homework: Begin the construction of the anthology coursework. The deadline for the initial draft is 29th Nov 10. Develop a series of notes that will allow you to offer a credible and meaningful presentation to the class in the next session. Each group must offer a sheet of A4 bullet points that summarise the content of your presentation. These sheets will be photocopied and offered to all students as a revision resource.
