Dracula
- The Board Game
The Assignment:
As a method of assessing their knowledge of the plot of Dracula, I asked the students to design a board game representing the events of the novel. The format of the game was entirely up to the students, but their game needed to accurately cover the plot of the novel as well as the themes as we discussed them in class.
