Today we will continue our reading and discussion of The Great Gatsby. First, I will hand out your quiz on chapter 2. After we will discuss the events from the chapter and get your thoughts on so of the themes we are recognizing and predict where the story is headed.
There will be a quiz on your reading of chapter 3 when you return on Monday. We will be doing another close read for chapter 3, this time it will be on the setting. As you read please think about Gatsby's party and the setting. You will also have to think back to Tom's house is East Egg from chapter 1, and the Valley of Ashes which you just read about in chapter 2. An excerpt will be provided for you here to help you. Please underline any information that informs you about the setting. You will use the information you have underlined to write 2 paragraphs about what the setting reveals about our characters. Your prompt can be found here along with a template that may help you get started and organize your writing. This will be due next Friday (4/25).
