Ben Newell

Agenda:

• Set up appointment to go over LL1, By thursday.
• Check grades for parent teacher conferences
• Fishbowl Frankenstein ending.
• Intro to Dr. Phil Frankenstein project.
• Some PARCC info

Fishbowl ideas:

Can the monster be good?

• He tried, but humanity rejected him.

-The monster taunts Victor in the final chase.

-Monster just wants a bro.

-Victor is a coward.(runs from initial creature and bails on the female creature)

Can the creature be a victim even if he kills?

• Most of his motivation comes from his abandonment, so even though his killings aren’t fully justified, the monster is not totally to blame.
• Victim of abandonment, but enjoys killing so he is not a good being.

Dr. Phil Project:

-Must have a Dr. Phil, Frankenstein and Monster.

-No storming out in act, must be constructive.

-Present on either Wednesday or Friday of next week depending on PARCC schedule.

Examples of Dr. Phil:

trailer One side Other side Dr. Phil’s talk

Homework: Work on Dr. Phil Script.
