The Frankenstein unit plan breaks the novel into four readings.   Three lesson plans accompany each reading, and pre-reading and post-reading lessons frame the unit. Pre-reading (Nobody Says, “It’s Alive!”) Reading 1: Letters – Chapter 5 (The Frame of the Tale) Reading 2: Chapters 6 – 12 (Isn’t it Romantic?) Reading 3: Chapters 13 – 10 (Becoming Frankenstein’s Monster) Reading 4: Chapters 20 – 24 (A Tale of Two Wretches) Post-reading (Shelley’s Themes)
