Final Assessment: Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein
English 12 Honors – Ms. Lomauro
For your summative assessment on Frankenstein, you will choose one of the following
project options. Each project will be evaluated according to how thoroughly you
explain the psychological and emotional experience of the characters through the
method of your choosing. These projects will be presented to the class.
Project Options:
Option #1 – Music Composition
Create an original song that conveys the psychological and/or emotional experience
of Frankenstein and/or the Creature. Ground the lyrics and overall tone of the song
in the information from the text.
Option #2 – Create a Soundtrack
Imagine that you are the music producer working on a film version of Frankenstein
set to release in 2013. Choose 8-10 songs that you would include as part of the movie’s
soundtrack. This list will be annotated; in other words, you will write a paragraph for
each song explaining what part of the story is reflected in the lyrics and why.
Option #3- Insert a Chapter
Create a short chapter that could be added anywhere in the novel. It is up to you to
decide which of the three layers of the story you’d like to work with. Your chapter
should be original and creative, but still ring true with the story overall. Length: 3-4
pages, double spaced.
Option #4 – Artistic Interpretation
Choose an ancillary character (William, Father, Clerval, Elizabeth, Justine, etc.) and
create a piece of art that represents their experience throughout the novel. Your art
work should be accompanied by a 2-3 paragraph explanation of the thought-process
behind the creation of the piece.
