Here is the short form I promised you. Please be advised that it is a little different from the one I gave you last semester. I am in the process of updating lesson plans and this is one of the ones I am changing. This is for FRANKENSTEIN and will be due the first week of school. I will give you the long form around the middle of February, or if you just cannot wait, then you can click on Wednesday, February 6, 2006, in the archives on this weblog to get the long form. The long form is for CRIME AND PUNISHMENT and will be due the middle of March.
