dark tense fast-paced

3.0

Another read for work โœŒ๐Ÿผ

Honestly, I read this mostly to start thinking of potential summative assignment ideas. I already knew I was going to pick this as a read for my ESL II students (even though I havenโ€™t previously read Dracula). I just knew the vibes would be there ๐Ÿ˜‚ 

The main reason this gets 3๐ŸŒŸ is because itโ€™s (obviously) written in simpler English and GREATLY condensed the narrative of Dracula by Bram Stoker. Most of the tension is killed by how quickly issues get resolved. Still, I do think I can use it to teach students about foreshadowing and how authors create tension. So, in the end, worth it.
