The Great Gatsby -- Assignment Schedule

I've been told that, due to the CAT testing, we will likely have a shortened period on Monday (May 3) and no class on Tuesday (May 4). Assuming that's accurate, I have drawn up the assignment schedule for our unit on The Great Gatsby. I will hand out a hardcopy of the assignment sheet on Monday, along with blank data sheets. I've also posted the assignment sheet online so you can take a look at what's ahead. The introductory material is also now available online.

In brief, you should have the book read in its entirety (180 pages) by Thursday, May 6. That is the day of our first discussion. We'll cover Chapters I-III that day.

Ideally, you will read quickly through the novel by Thursday, and then go back and read more carefully, annotating with a pen, in preparation for the discussion days. This will be the last unit and the last reading of the year. Finish strong!
