What really makes a monster? Some say there is a monster in all of us. Using a graphic remix of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein as a base, students in this class will read a series of stories, poems, and other texts around solitude, hubris, how we see ourselves, and how we see each other. As a final project, students will create their own shareable product that helps others understand the monsters of the world, both real and imagined.
See the student projects below. You can learn more about the project here.
