Focus: What do journalists want us to understand better or differently about America?
1. Warming up with an overview of our investigative journalism unit (see website for links to letter, book list, and bookmark)
2. Forming investigative journalism book clubs by selecting your groups and books; you must have at least FOUR people in your book club and no more than SIX (no exceptions to this rule this time)
3. Reading, conferencing, and journaling on the ending of The Great Gatsby
HW:
1. Complete your book club letter and have your book IN YOUR HANDS when you walk in on Wednesday, April 25. Also, if you're thinking about The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks (it's so good), it's being turned into an HBO movie. You can check it out here.
2. If you have not yet finished your Gatsby blogs or fishbowl comments, please do so by this Friday at the latest.
3. Prepare for tomorrow's timed writing by forming your thesis and gathering your three quotations; if you wish, you may also do an outline.
