  4. Monday • You are both gathering evidence to address the prompt (plot, symbols, basically what should we know about your chapter), and working on the presentation. • Use members wisely. Make the most of your time. • Assign each other homework. (Ask yourself, what needs to be done tonight in order for us to just be working on the presentation or visual on Tuesday.)

  5. Tuesday • Today, you should have all the info you need for your 3-5 minute (timed) presentation. • Focus today on the presentation part: what is your visual? What is the speaking order? Who is saying what? • Groups who are on track for an A will be ready to PRACTICE PERFORMING the presentation today. • Assign yourself HW: can the group get together to practice during Dippy? HR? after school? Practice your parts in front of a mirror and people. Get feedback about how you can present better!

  6. Wednesday • Find your character group members. • Look over the prompt from your novel packet • Review what you have so far. Add what you know now after finishing the book to the 6 aspects on the prompt • Assign yourself HW: Is your character group ready to focus on the presentation tomorrow? Or do you need to find more info/ do more research? Be ready to practice/ finish the presentation stuff tomorrow!

  7. Thursday: Last Group Work Day • Find your character group. • Finalize anything you need to do for your group. Group should have assigned speaking parts, visual should be make or finished today.

  8. Am Lit: Do Now: 3/15/13 • Turn in any extra credit assignments you have to the US MAIL • Respond: What makes Gatsby, “Great”? Does the narrator want us to like Gatsby? Why or not?

  9. Notes (can be added under Do Now) • Ch. 1 comments: Gatsby turned out already in the end. (He died, so Nick must be referring to him as a person) • “It is what preyed on Gatsby” Myer Wolfsheim? • Gatsby’s crucifixion image (heroic, Christ-like) • Carries the cross/mattress • Died as a sacrifice
