february 9

JOURNAL TOPIC:
Several of the themes in The Great Gatsby deal directly with human values and how we interact as individuals in society.  How does the book address the roles of women in our culture?  How does the book address differences in class and race?  Are rich people, or men, or white people "better"?  How much (or how little) do you think American culture has changed in the nearly 100 years since the book was first published?

AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Compare notes on your tests-- how did you do?
3. Begin reading chapter 5 and post your notes (title: GATSBY CHAPTER 5 NOTES)

*sneak preview: next week we will begin brainstorming essay prompts.

    1. Heh. I commented. If there's even a kernel of truth to it, how about an online conversation tomorrow?
