Second New Deal & Chapter 1 Great Gatsby

 Please turn in your work from Friday when you enter class.  The next section we will study is the Second New Deal, which created more programs after the popularity of the New Deal among Americans.  Please have this Guided Reading due Wednesday.  You will have a quiz on the what we have learned so far in this chapter on Wednesday.

Today we will have our first quiz on Chapter 1 of The Great Gatsby.  After your quiz we will have a brief discussion on what happened in the chapter and our first impressions of the book and its main characters.  After our discussion you will be doing a character analysis from the first chapter.  I have taken an excerpt from Chapter 1 for you to do a close reading.  Please read the excerpt closely; circle any names of characters and underline any information that reveals info about the characters Tom and Daisy.  Once finished you will complete this character map about Tom and Daisy.  Fill out that character map using quotations from the excerpt.  Once finished please write a character analysis (one paragraph for Tom and one for Daisy).  Here is a template that may help you get started; the template is not required but may help you organize your paragraph.  This will all be due on Monday (4/21).  Please read chapter 2 for Wednesday.

Finally, there is a photo contest with a cash prize for the winner for the artsy students or instagram enthusiasts in class.  Just take a photo that represents California to you and follow the directions on the flyer.  Good luck!
