The Recap: April 3, 2017

Focus: What do we need to recap before we can move forward?

1. Warming up three good great things!

2. Entering SAT Boot Camp, Day 1: "Gerry's Salamander"

3. Recapping the building conflicts in Chapters 1-6

You and your row are going to create a short video on your phone to recap your assigned chapter.

• Level 1: Address the FIVE most important plot points of your chapter.

• Level 2: Address characterization, setting, symbols, motifs, and perhaps even read a passage or two.

• Ending: Ask a big, cliffhanger kind of question.

• E-mail me your video when you're done. We're going to watch these at the end of class today (or the beginning of class tomorrow, depending on how long this takes).

Let's see your creativity, enthusiasm, and intellectualism at work here, 

4. Plotting the rising conflicts in Gatsby, Chapters 1-6 together

HW:
1. If you were absent the Thursday before spring break, please listen to my memoir feedback, fill out the reflective rubric, and return it to me by Wednesday.

2. Read at least the first ten pages of Chapter 7 by tomorrow; start your blog entry. You need to read all of Chapter 7 by Thursday and complete your blog entry (just one for the whole chapter). It's LOOOOOOOOOOOOONGG, so start tonight.

3. This Friday is the end of 12 weeks; all work from the past 6 weeks is due this Friday by 3:00 pm.
