Instructional Ideas

  • Discuss the concept of the willing suspension of disbelief
  • Assign groups different creatures that Kafka could have chosen Gregor to transform into and have them consider if this change would make a significant difference in the story

 

Classroom Considerations

  • Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis serves as the anchor text for the unit
  • Most appropriate for advanced level classes

Pros

  • The 21-page packet includes a carefully scaffolded unit plan, 10 lessons, links to the required texts, assessments, and a rubric for the essay

Cons

  • None
