In this article, we speculate that sometimes students may not be interested in reading books. Therefore, teachers must provide meaningful experiences for students, while they develop a creative space to enjoy classic pieces of art with enormous potential for our daily lives. For this reason, three different activities are presented below. Firstly, communicative skills are fostered through a task based on Frankenstein. Secondly, values and critical thinking are promoted through a debate. Finally, students’ creative skills are developed by designing a new character for the novel. All these activities are not only meant to foster collaborative work but also to let students be immersed in classic literature.
