Daily Log

Monday, June 13

Students were reminded to post their Outside Reading assignments to turnitin.com. Any assignments not submitted to turnitin by 11:59 pm Tuesday will not be accepted.

Also, remember to return all textbooks, outside reading books, and any other books checked out to you.

Students took a five-question quiz for extra credit over Chapters VIII and IX, after which we discussed Nick's final encounter with Tom Buchanan, examining the intersection of several strains of imagery (jewelry, careless driving, dust) and the resonance they give to Nick's final judgment on the Buchanans and their "rotten crowd."

HW due tomorrow:
Review -- at the least -- the final page of the novel and consider what it may have to say about "The American Dream."

Thursday/Friday
Final examination. Bring motif booklets and The Great Gatsby.
