Families will hear about the story of Frankenstein, marvel at stories of scientists that influenced the author and witness the wonder of demonstrations of light, anatomy and electricity.
Highlights of this event will include Professor Steve’s Jacob’s ladder (17,000 volts), Wimshurst Static Generator (75,000 volts) and his amazing Tesla Coil (750,000 volts of raw electricity). Akron and Mentone elementary students will be reading “Frankenstein” twist picture books during the month of October in preparation for this event.
TVSC teachers Shelly Engle and Jane Hunn will be leading the way at the high school and middle school as they read the novel with students in the 2018-19 school year. Book discussions will be the heart of the focus in these buildings, with an emphasis on moral and ethical responsibilities as they relate to science and life in general.
Bell Memorial Public Library will be sponsoring a movie event at Tippecanoe Valley Middle School on Oct. 23 for students who have read the book to join together and have some fun.
Book-to-movie comparisons will be shared; along with Frankenstein-themed treats and gifts for students. Community members are encouraged to stop by both public libraries to check out the classic novel and join in this reading event.
Reading Club members in all four buildings will be encouraged to read the classic or a “Frankenstein” twist novel during the school year. Grace Smythe, a graphic design student at TVHS, will be designing t-shirts with the theme “Frank is in the Valley.” These T-shirts are free to students who go above and beyond in their reading efforts by reading Indiana Young Hoosier or Rosie nominated titles throughout the school year.
Books purchased for the Hoosier reading program are generously donated by parent support groups at Akron and Mentone elementary schools. Funds earned through book fairs help to purchase the T-shirts.
