The preview includes sample material from Week 1: Letters 1–4 & Chapters 1–4, where students begin examining Victor Frankenstein and Robert Walton, the pursuit of knowledge, scientific ambition, responsibility, isolation, and the consequences of unchecked curiosity.

The sample activities show how students move beyond simple plot recall. They use context clues, examine character motivations and decisions, cite textual evidence, make predictions, and analyze how Shelley develops important themes.
The Character Focus sample asks students to analyze Victor’s traits, support their conclusions with evidence, consider how those traits influence his decisions, and predict future consequences.
The Theme Focus activity explores the relationship between ambition, knowledge, responsibility, and consequences, asking students to connect Shelley’s ideas to both the novel and larger questions about personal choices.
