Today in class students hadn't read What I've Learned from Men. We discussed the essay in the 9-10 class. In the earlier class we read it. No one had their Initial Planning Sheet to share. I suggest everyone develop a schedule for their research essay with due dates. See Hacker page 370 for a sample. Bring your completed schedule on Wednesday, April 18.
Students were encouraged to use the research guide and go to the college library and get assistance from the librarian to make certain they were on task. The assignment is posted on the website, make certain you print out a copy for yourself; there are due dates you need to note on your schedule.
We looked at the essay, What I've Learned from Men to cite what Frankenstein's creature learned from him, and how much of his actions reflect the personality of the doctor. We used the text to list the doctor's characteristics and then put stars next to those shared by his child, the monster.
In my English 201 class a student offered an insightful comment on the reason why he'd make his creature so frightful. He said: "Dr. Frankenstein was incapable of creating something of beauty because he was monstrous or ugly inside. He had an ugly spirit."
For homework students were to list evidence that supported Dr. Frankenstein's innocence and his guilt. Tomorrow we will write opening arguments. Students who have the number 1 are defending the doctor. He is not responsible for his creature's actions. Those who have the number two, are holding the doctor responsible for his creature's actions.
The setting is the present in the East Bay: The People of California vs. Dr. Victor Frankenstein. Other handouts are a Brent Staples' essay, an essay about women's brains, and a package containing philosophical writings on the "essay." Don't forget, on Thursdays we will meet in the writing lab (L-235-236) to workshop essays. This Thursday, bring in something you are working on for critique. Bring in a class set, about 10 copies. (If you need me to make copies give me a hardcopy by Wednesday.) You can also bring in published writing you think is an example of good writing. Be prepared to explain why: clearly stated thesis, great examples, structure is flawless, use of humor, great research, ease with a difficult topic, style, etc.
