Mr. Potratz distributed the assignment sheet for the culture box assignment, showed some sample boxes from a previous year, and answered questions.

Students then read silently along with a recording of the "The Masque of the Red Death."

EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITY:
Students wishing to earn term-end extra credit should speak with Mr. Potratz individually outside of class time. There are two versions of the assignment, both dealing with Gothicism:
(a) Watch Frankenstein Thursday afternoon and write a short essay discussing Gothicism in the film. Refer to "The Gothic Tradition," page 274, Elements of Literature.
(b) Complete the "Gothicism" research worksheet, available on the Documents page, or in the red notebook on the back table.
Either option is due by the end of the semester, Friday, January 30 and can earn up to 15 points.
