Today's class was a writing day! But, it was a bit of a special writing day since you were the one who constructed the prompt. I hope that through this mini-project you've developed a process by which you can break down and analyze a text in order to extract and trace the meaning in the passage. By increasing your speed and skill with this throughout the rest of the year, you'll be completely ready for the exam (and life, on a larger scale - sorry in advance for ruining all movies).
Next class we'll be discussing the end of The Great Gatsby - Chapters 8 and 9. It's a sad, but rich ending, so I hope that you enjoy it. I'm looking forward to a rich end to a wonderful book. Be aware that your vocabulary will be due in January. We'll also have our final seminar - choose one of the articles to read and annotate in advance of that seminar day.

Today was our reading day! We locked in to our author/creator and spent our day focused on studying our text or texts of choice. I am so happy to see how focused and dedicated you all were today in class. Keep in mind that if you didn't finish your notes, then you'll have the chance to do so on Friday during our Unit Catch-Up Day.
If you have any missing work from this part of the year, it's important to get it done as soon as possible so that I can update your scores as soon as possible. Use the time on Friday if you need to for this, but be sure that your reading notes are finished first.
