Mary Shelley (1818) · Reading & Learning Unit
How this unit works: In every station you first read (about 20 minutes) and then work on the tasks (about 20 minutes). Work on your own – your teacher is there to help you. The unit does not tell you the whole story: you discover it yourself by reading the book. 🦇
