Okay, so today we talked about The Great Gatsby Chapter 7. This is the climax of the novel.
We also talked about Peer Review. Peer Review is when you write a paper and have one of your classmates read it and give you feedback. We will be completing a specific peer review process on Thursday and Friday this week.
You MUST have a completed draft of your compare-contrast essay in class on Thursday or Friday.
Remember as part of the process points of your multigenre research paper you receive points for the following:
1) Having a completed draft in class on Thursday or Friday.
2) Having your draft peer reviewed by someone in our class.
3) Peer Reviewing a classmate's paper.
These are easy points! And they are a lot of points, make sure you get them!
To make up the class for Thursday you need to do the following:
1. Write about a dream or goal you have accomplished and the steps you took to accomplish it.
2. Answer the following questions about Chapter 7 of The Great Gatsby:
1. Think about the confrontation scene on p.132-134. At the end of this passage Nick states that “only the dead dream fought on as the afternoon slipped away, trying to touch what was no longer tangible, struggling unhappily, undesparingly, toward that lost voice across the room.” How does Nick’s commentary connect to the confrontation scene? What is important about this scene and Nick’s commentary?
2. Re-read the passage on p.144-145 in which Nick finds Gatsby outside Daisy’s house in the dark. Compare this passage to the passage in chapter 1 where Nick sees Gatsby outside at night stretching his arms toward Daisy’s house. What is the significance of Gatsby standing outside Daisy’s house and Nick leaving him there alone?
Homework for Thursday or Friday:
