English 11 (F)
Sadly, I won't see you folks again until Thursday! So, you have some important tasks to take care of:
- Task 1: In class today, we identified two of the major claims (arguments) made by Thomas Foster in the excerpt of his essay "A Whole Heap of Ashes." For each of the claims (we highlighted them in class), find 3 pieces of evidence that he uses to support the claim.
- Task 2: Watch the video embedded below. In it, John Green takes on the question, "Was Gatsby Great?" (You've considered that question, too!) Take some notes as you watch:
- First, notes about Green's answer to the question "Was Gatsby Great?" This is his claim.
- Second, reasons that Green gives to support his claim.
- Third, notes on any other claims Green makes.
- Task 3: Read your independent reading book!
