2021-2022 English 11 Advanced Level: Gothic Unit Activities (video)

I prepared and uploaded a brief video of some of the activities the class did with this theme on the gothic. I for one enjoyed the students’ projects. They created their topics to do their own research and later presented their findings to the rest of the class. I must say, I was impressed! But it might be only natural since this topic has always fascinated teens (and most adults, too!)  We looked at Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein, Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Fall of the House of Usher,” and Bram Stoker’s “The Judge’s House.”  The students voiced their opinions on that one and I uploaded their conversations to my podcast (Episode-52-Bram-Stoker-Discussions-on-The-Judges-House) That was a fun activity and they want to do something like that again so I’ll consider it for the next trimester.  I wonder what other activities they can do to further their own learning?  I’ll certainly give it some serious thought! ~~LMMolina

Mary Wollstonecraft: Writer and Philosopher

According to Mary Wollstonecraft what are the “commonly held notions of female hood”?  How might these notions influence writers of Gothic literature? Who was Mary Godwin?
