1. Warming up by thinking about your English classes next year and celebrating your outer circle successes
2. Reading/listening to/conferencing/journalling about The Great Gatsby, Chapter 4
- See website for the journal overview and the fishbowl sign-up.
3. Preparing tomorrow's syllabus if you're a Chapter 4 leader
A random note: I was curious about your questions yesterday regarding Jordan and women playing golf. I found that women have been competing in golf tournaments since 1895, the year the U.S. Golf Association held its first Women's Amateur Championship tournament. I also found this out:
Jordan Baker was based on Edith Cummings, a friend of Fitzgerald's first love, Ginerva King, and one of the decade's top female golfers. A Chicago debutante and notorious party girl dubbed "The Fairway Flapper," Cummings nevertheless was a talented golfer. She beat Stirling to win the Women's Amateur in Providence, Rhode Island in 1923. In 1924, Cummings was the first female athlete to make the cover of "Time" magazine.
