Monday, May 24

Students took a quiz over Gatsby, Chapters 1-7. Students will receive one grade between the two quizzes (this one and the quiz last Monday). Whichever score is higher will be kept, the other discarded.

Mr. P announced that students can earn 10 points extra credit by going to the school production of A Midsummer Night's Dream and turning in their ticket; they can earn an additional 10 points by submitting a one-page review of the production.

Starting from Myrtle Wilson's violent death, we discussed the motif of careless driving in the novel, looking especially at the discussion Nick and Jordan have on the subject -- and its larger implications -- on page 63.

HW due Tuesday:
Read Chapter 8. Students will be asked to produce CDs on a chosen topic from the chapter.
HW due Wednesday:
Read Chapter 9 (finish the novel). CDs on that chapter.
