Here's how to do it

1. Read up to and through Justine's execution in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. (You've already done that! You're practically done.)

2. Assign a role to each of the three members of your group. One person should be Victor, one person should be the creature, and one person should be Justine (before her hanging, obviously).

3. Write a journal entry (approximately 3/4 to 1 full page) for your character. You should focus on his or her feelings in response to recent events. Do they feel responsible for what has happened? Are they just an innocent pawn in a devilish scheme? Are they a victim of terrible fate?

NOTE Victor and the creature's journal entries should be written just after Justine has been put to death. Justine's journal entry, however, should be written the night before her trial.

** DOUBLE NOTE** In order to help you better understand each character's feelings and motives as well as the context of their actions, I have linked several analytical documents from enotes.com . You can, and SHOULD, examine at least a few of these before you write your journal entry.

4. Now that you've put yourself in someone else's shoes, you're ready to think critically. You and your group members should collaborate to determine who is responsible for the deaths of William and Justine. You should also decide what Victor should do next in an effort to right the wrongs that have been committed.

5. Finally, it's time to tell everyone what you think. Together as a group, create a short PowerPoint presentation. It should include the feelings of each character (as you wrote in your journal entries), examples from the text, the new knowledge you learned from the linked articles, and the conclusions you reached through group discussion. Through your presentation, tell us who is responsible, why, and what should be done next.
        *In case you don't know how to use PowerPoint, here is a quick tutorial.*
