Description
Episode 77: Frankenstein (Summer Reading Strategies) Mary Shelley (1818) Running Time: 12:25 This Week's Topics: Multiple narrators Close reading strategies Frame narrative Original Air Date: 7/31/15 After a two week summer hiatus, The DJO English Round Table Podcast is back! Students are often told to "take notes" as they make their way through the summer reading, but sometimes it can be tricky to determine just what we should take notes on (and why!) in each new book. This week, Mr. Meehan puts a "Five Minute Focus" -- which is actually more like ten minutes -- on Frankenstein. This episode is packed with sample note-taking strategies, close-reading techniques, and the types of questions that will help you make sense of a book that deliberately blurs the lines between facts and fiction. Pro-tip: listen to this podcast and the Senior Summer Reading episode before you start reading! These recordings are loaded with tips and strategies on how to make clearer sense of the book and boost your comprehension as you read. (It's like extra credit in advance!)
