Plot Review for Chapters 8 and 9

So a lot of  my students said you liked the plot review for chapter 7, and asked if I had something similar for the rest of the chapters we need to read. This is fill-in-the-blank instead of open-ended, but it's a fairly detailed. You could use this while you're reading or you could do it as a review after you read.

Gatsby Audio for Chapters 4-6

Today in class, we took vocabulary quiz #9 and the Gatsby quiz over the first three chapters of the book. If you were out today, please plan to attend tutoring to make up those quizzes. If you were here today, you received the extra credit for chapters 4-6. The quiz on these chapters isn't until Friday, February 14, 2020, but several people asked if they could have the extra credit early so they could read over the break, so I gave it to everyone today. There is no assigned reading over the break, but using the break to catch up or get ahead is certainly a good idea.

Below are links to the audio for chapters 4-6.

All extra credit for these quizzes is due at the time the quizzes start. Extra credit cannot be accepted after the quizzes are given.

Gatsby Chapter 1 Powerpoint and Audio, Chapter 2

Today, we began reading The Great Gatsby during class. Most of my classes got to the part where Tom starts making horribly racist comments at dinner. If you want to skip to that part in the audio, it starts at 21:20. In your book, that's at the very bottom of page 12. (Keep in mind that we are not supposed to like Tom, for many reasons. You'll also notice that once Tom starts talking about this topic, every other character tries to change the topic because they obviously don't agree with him.)

Homework: Read Chapter 2 before block day, and read chapter 3 before class on Friday.

The Great Gatsby: Background Information

Today, we watched a documentary to get ready for reading The Great Gatsby next week. The video includes information about the 1920's, biographical information about the author of Gatsby, and some thematic information about the book.

We skipped over the parts that had spoilers! I recommend skipping these things:

• Play at the beginning
• Stop at 7:49, start again at 13:34
• Stop at 28:10, start again at 31:36
• Stop at 37:34

Click here if you would like to watch the video from today.

Of course, once we've read the book, going back and watching the entire video would be a wonderful way to review the unit before you take the test. :)
