Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

As an introduction to the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley we have watched the film directed by  Kenneth Branagh in 1994. The movie, starring Robert De Niro and Kenneth Branagh himself, is considered the most faithful film adaptation of Mary Shelley's novel.

The first actitivity this year was taken from the excellent webpage Film English by Kieran Donaghy. This lesson is designed around a beautiful short film and poem, Choice, by Gnarly Bay. Following Kieran’s lesson instructions students do a dictation, visualise, watch a short film, speak about choices, and write a narrative for homework.
