This weekend your priority is to complete chapter three of The Great Gatsby. As you are reading you need to continue to annotate and add to your cover notes on characters, topics, symbols, settings and motifs. As we continue to discuss and draw out the patterns we see in the text, you should continue to look for these ideas and elements on your own. Monday we will be focused solely on Gatsby. If you would like to get ahead for Wednesday's class I would suggest that you also read "The Ways We Lie" by Stephanie Ericsson which is in 50 Essays or at this link. As you read Ericsson's piece, connect the different lies back to the characters in the text. How does this text give you a better understanding of what it truly means to tell a lie?

This weekend you have no homework due to the fact that you had a quiz today or yesterday. Please continue to study and learn on your own with this language. I am still disappointed in the fact that some of you are not putting forth the effort required of you to be successful. Many of you who are struggling are not completing homework assignments or coming to me for extra help.

This weekend everyone you need to read chapter three of Siddhartha. This is when he will meet Buddha - the man who is enlightened. Watch this scene carefully and consider how it continues Siddhartha's quest for knowledge and understanding of himself. As you read you should be collecting vocabulary and defining that vocabulary. I will be collecting your next vocabulary bookmark on Tuesday. Have that ready!
Lastly, you have the opportunity this weekend to do test corrections on your multiple choice. To earn back one half point for each question missed you need to turn in a sheet of paper on which you:
- write out the question that you missed with the correct answer
- explain why the answer is correct
Only assignments which do both parts will earn credit back. Submit this with your original test.
