Dracula

Vampires are so last century.

Everyone loves them a vampire. Some folks more literally than others. But what if we told you that the original bloodsuckers didn't have abs of steel? That they didn't fly around through trees? That they didn't…sparkle?

In this short course on Bram Stoker's Dracula, you'll be exposed to one of the world's first vampire sagas. With Common Core-aligned lesson plans, readings, and activities, you'll be able to

  • differentiate between Dracula and later types of vampires.
  • contextualize Dracula in the technological and cultural world of the late 1890s.
  • discuss the relationship between Dracula's form and its content.
  • explore the role and definition of masculinity with regard to the band of vampire hunters.
  • understand the role of technology in the story.

Just keep some garlic handy.
