Write down the following paragraph, then make
changes to improve this introduction paragraph:
Prompt: Whose to blame for the deaths and lives that
were altered and changed forever by this creature?
Frankenstein is a novel based upon the
regeneration of life. Frankenstein is a great novel. I am
about to talk to you about who is to blame for this
creation. Victor Frankenstein is responsible for his
creation and the fact that he didn’t speak out after the
creature was loose in the world was even worse;
although, some people feel that the creature was
responsible for his own actions and needed to be held
responsible for them.
Write down the following paragraph. Is it good, needs
improvement, explain your thoughts:
“I beheld the wretch-the miserable monster whom
I had created” (43). Victor Frankenstein says it
himself, it was his creation, his responsibility, and he
took none! He longed to regenerate life after it was
gone, yet in his creation he felt disgust, and then
abandoned it. Victor Frankenstein is responsible for
his creation’s actions and the affect his abandonment
had on him; although, some people feel that the
monster is responsible for his own actions.
Bellwork #10:
SW discuss guidelines and proper set up of the counter
argument/rebuttal.
SW look at and discuss/revise counterarguments and
rebuttals.
SW create their counterargument and rebuttal and share
with a partner to get feedback.
Counterarguments/rebuttals usually follow the
introduction, because the claim leads into this POV.
• You need evidence/quote from the text to support this
with an explanation.
However, you may place this paragraph where you choose
within the body paragraphs (1St or 3rd).
You wouldn’t start with one of your points for the body
paragraph, then discuss the counterargument/rebuttal,
and then end with another point you make. It makes
your thoughts look scrambles and all over the place.
Counterargument/Rebuttal Sentence Stems:
Counterargument:
• Some people feel that…
• The point of view of others is…
Rebuttal:
• What ____ fails to consider is _____.
• This assertion/position is problematic
because_________.
• While this view is popular, it is overlooking the
fact that _________.
Write down the following paragraph, then make changes to
improve or make this counterargument/rebuttal paragraph
stronger:
Some people feel that the creature is responsible
for his own actions. The creature is aware of what is
right and wrong after learning from others and even
started to question his existence and what it meant.
“My person was hideous and my stature gigantic.
What does this mean? Who was I? What was I?
Whence did I come?” (109). This statement shows
that he is starting to question who he is and where
he came from, but also shows he is learning about
life and himself. Therefore, he should know right
from wrong. What this position fails to consider is
that the creature wouldn’t be feeling this way, if he
wasn’t abandoned by his creator.
Bellwork #11:
SW create their flow map, the rest of their body paragraphs for
their essay, and discuss and share out with a partner.
• What is the easiest part of the writing process for you? The
hardest? What strategy or strategies do you use that helps? Explain.
Remember: The rest of your body paragraphs should follow your
claim points and in that order.
For Example: Some people feel that the creature is responsible for his
own actions; although, Victor Frankenstein created and abandoned
his own creation.
So, in this way:1st body: Counterargument/rebuttal
2nd body: Victor Frankenstein created the
creature
3rd body: Victor Frankenstein abandoned the
creature.
