In my AP English class we have to write journals in response to things we've read over the quarter. It's not fun, but it's a grade booster. Anyway, we read Frankenstein by Mary Shelley this quarter and had a seminar, the class just getting in a huge circle and asking questions and commenting on various aspects of the book, about it.
