Today was a lovely day! We worked through the end of The Great Gatsby and had wonderful analysis and discussion of some key passages. I am so glad to see the depth of thinking that you're accomplishing with this text. Keep this going! It'll lead to a great outcome as you keep working and thinking and growing.
Most of our conversation focused on outcomes and resolutions. Be sure that you've updated your annotations based on our conversations in class. I'll be checking your books soon after we return from Winter Break.
There's no homework over the break. When we return, though, we have a few things to work through. There's our end of unit seminar (choose one of the articles for this), our vocabulary assignment, and our final work with the novel. Review the project and be ready for some workdays when we return! Also be ready for a fast end to the quarter - it'll be here before you know it.

Today was our classroom catch-up day. If you are missing your reading notes, your author paragraph, or your research on your country then today should have given you ample time to complete those tasks. If you need more time, please finish over the break and show me your work when we return. If you are missing anything from Unit 2 (like our soundtrack project) I hope that you will get that turned in as soon as possible so that I can update your scores in the gradebook.
We took time in class today to watch Persepolis. If you missed today's class - feel free to find it online and watch if you'd like.
When we return from break we'll be focused on finishing this unit and completing our final steps of our project. It'll be a quick finish, so be ready to work diligently to complete your assignments. Keep in mind that NO LATE WORK will be accepted during the last week of the quarter.
