Icy Homework!

I hope everyone is safe and warm and enjoying a day (or two?) off from school.

Some Gentle Reminders to 1A and Assignment for 1B:
  1. For Monday or Tuesday of next week (February 2-3), read through chapter five of the The Great Gatsby. Based on what you have read thus far, draft a letter from Gatsby to another character. Click here for the prompt and note-taking chart.
  2. First blog post is due! I plan to grade those while we having this nice, "cool" break...hopefully, we will continue to have electricity! Topic? Your thoughts on materialism.
  3. Due to the BHS's reading expectations, please be reading an "outside of class" novel. REMEMBER: a book review of each novel must be posted to your blog and Good Reads = the assessment for each novel. I hope to complete the book review rubric and post this document for you soon.

What are your thoughts so far on F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel?

The book is sort of not exactly what I would have chosen but it isnt as bad as I thought it would be.
