Frankenstein Unit Materials

Description

This Frankenstein Unit Bundle has recently been redesigned to meet the new AP English Literature course requirements, aligning with AP® English Literature Unit 6 (Longer Fiction or Drama Unit II). This three-week unit plan includes everything you would need to teach Mary Shelley’s masterpiece, Frankenstein. This material aligns with the 1831 version of the novel. Designed for an advanced placement course, it guides an analytical, quote-driven exploration of the text, along with multiple assessments and supplementary activities.

⭐ The following resources are included in this Frankenstein AP English Literature Bundle:

• An introduction to the text and background notes, including an engaging pre-test that compares the real Frankenstein with its pop culture references
