for the main idea, filling in the blanks about the creating scene of the creature, describing the appearance of the monster, comparing the scientist’s different feelings before and after its birth and analyzing Frankenstein’s thoughts and behaviors, based on those exercises, Ss’ reading skills, viewing skills and presentation skills can be improved and they can have a deeper understanding of the story.
Step 3 Extensive reading
Just now we have discussed the feelings of Frankenstein, but we have no idea about the monster’s feeling. So let’s come close to the monster to know something about him.
Come close to the monster
The moment it was created, the monster attempted to adapt himself into human social patterns. He learned to speak and read. At one time he managed to rescue a drowning girl and tried hard to befriend with kids but was driven by all who saw him. He desired to be loved and accepted by humankind, but unfortunately he was not accepted because of his horrible appearance.
This feeling of abandonment forced him to seek revenge(报仇) against his creator. As a matter of fact, the monster was a victim of prejudice.(偏见）
When the monster stood up, I think he wanted to speak something, but Frankenstein didn’t hear. If Frankenstein and the creature had a chance to have a good talk, what would they talk about? Now group work, please make a dialogue between Frankenstein and his creature to make up the story in detail, you have three minutes to discuss. Then I would like to choose some of you to act it out.
Step 4 Post reading (Group work)
Task 6 Make a dialogue between Frankenstein and his creature to make up
the story in detail,
Frankenstein: ______________________________________________ Monster: _________________________________________________ Frankenstein: _____________________________________________ Monster: ________________________________________________ ... (Choose two or three groups to act it out)
All of you did a great job today, from your dialogues, I believe you have a gentle and reasonable heart towards the things around you. Now let’s read the following together.
Everything exists for a reason, and whatever happens, it also happens for a reason. Science can be a bridge leading humans from bad to good, it also can be a bridge leading us from good to bad. It all depends on ourselves.
【Design Intent/Intention】: According to extensive reading, T encourages Ss to make a dialogue between Frankenstein and his monster to make up the story in detail

in groups, which could not only cultivate their divergent thinking and the ability to cooperate, but also inspire them to see the hill from diverse angles. Finally, Ss could perceive the world in depth, and understand the proper use of science.
Step 5 Homework
Write down a monologue(独白) of Frankenstein or a monologue of the creature based on your understanding of the whole story.
