Love or Lust? April 2, 2018

Focus: Are modern romances love or lust (or something else)?

1. Warming up with three good things and Grammar You Must Know #9: Apostrophes

2. Figuring out characters' romances by taking "The Love Quiz" in character

1st row: Nick
2nd row: Jordan
3rd row: Gatsby
4th row: Daisy
5th row: Tom
6th row: Myrtle

  • Answer the questions in character. At the end of the quiz, find one passage from The Great Gatsby that supports the way you responded.
  • With your "love interest," compare answers. Are you a good match? Why or why not? What is the nature of your romance: love, lust, or something else?

3. Reading and journaling about The Great Gatsby, Chapter 5; tomorrow's fishbowl leaders can use this time to prepare! Yes!

Note: If you have fallen behind in your Gatsby blogs, you have until THIS FRIDAY to catch up.

HW:
1. Please finish reading and journaling about Chapter 5. Enjoy all the awkwardness!

2. Remember that you can use Method Test Prep to practice for the SAT or ACT (it has the timer function, which especially helpful on the reading portions). Click HERE for the link.

3. The end of 12 weeks is Friday, April 6 (the Friday after spring break). All make-up work / revised work from the last 6 weeks is due by then.
