Daily Log

Thursday, May 6

We continued reading in the opening chapter of The Great Gatsby and adding notes to our motif booklets under categories of Locations and Geography (West Egg and East Egg), Colors (the white palaces of East Egg), and Time, Clocks, and Seasons (live beginning again with the summer), for example.

Tomorrow: Mr. P is going to Lake Forest and students (with Mr. McCormick) will show students the beginning of Winter Dreams, a PBS documentary about Fitzgerald. Students are to take notes on the film and put them in the tray as they leave.

HW due Monday:
Read through Chapter 3 of Gatsby, adding notes to the motif booklet as you go.
