Details for Thursday 8/25 Discussion

As first year advising coordinator I am writing again with details on what you should bring to and how to prepare for our upcoming Frankenstein discussion that will take place on Thursday, Aug. 25, 5:00-7:00.

1. Bring the book. I know it sounds obvious but make sure you bring the book to campus and then to the group discussion.
2. Bring writing utensil and paper.
3. Wear your nametag. Although you will be learning your fellow classmates’ names, the facilitators will certainly appreciate it if you are wearing your nametag.
4. You are expected to contribute to the discussion so come prepared with something, many things, to say. Also, you are expected to listen and respond to other people’s comments during our group discussion.
5. When you finish the novel, or even as you are reading it, take notes. Then, write down five, more if you want, observations, quotes, questions and bring all of your writing with you to the discussion.
6. Finally, if this is the first time you are reading the novel, consider what you thought about Frankenstein before reading Shelley’s work? What were your preconceived notions about the character Frankenstein? About the novel Frankenstein? How have they changed?

Again, safe journeys; I look forward to our discussions.
