Wednesday - 1.20.10

Today students viewed the first half of the movie version of Great Gatsby. We also talked about elements of the movie that differ from the book.

Reminder for students: Vocab Unit 6 work is due on Friday, and your quiz will also be on Friday. Also, the Great Gatsby test is on Monday. Your color journal for the novel is also due on Monday.

Great Gatsby Test Review
1. Study the Great Gatsby vocabulary sheet given at the beginning of the unit.
2. Utilize the Great Gatsby online review game. (found on the handouts website - Ante Up)
3. Review the meaning behind your color journal (also get it ready to hand in on Monday!)
4. Review all the characters, their roles, and how they are related to one another.
5. Review your notes from the intro powerpoint on this unit. Pay special attention to info about the author and the literary time period - modernism. (ppt is on the handouts website)
6. Try to answer questions on the study guide that was given out. (this will not be collected for a grade)

  1. Hey Mrs. Lusher, are we going have some kind of review like jeopardy on your site?

  2. Yes, there is a game under the Great Gatsby unit on the handout page. It is called Ante Up. Hope this helps!

  3. Yes it did help, thank you! And I was also wondering, for the color charts, is it one chart for each chapter? So I would have 9 color charts to turn in on Monday in total?

  4. No, you should only one color chart (front and back) that is due tomorrow. You can pick however many quotes from each chapter...I did not specify that.
