  6. Make a text-to-text text-to-world, or text-to-self connection.

  7. Wednesday, January 23 Bellwork Write a journal entry about whatever’s on your mind. Need a topic? How do you like Gatsby so far? Do you wish it would get warmer, colder, or just keep going back and forth? Would you be willing to go to school from 8-5 if it meant having every Monday off?

  15. Tuesday, February 19 Bellwork • What is your “American Dream”? • Describe the dream version of your future • Who do you want to be? What kind of life do you want to have? • Don’t worry if it seems far-fetched– just write it down! • Do you think your dream is achievable? Why or why not?
