English 11 (G and A block)
- Read "Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong" to the STOP sign on page 6. Draw a picture, as directed!
Honors English 11 (C block)
- Complete the "Close reading--response" handout you received in class today. To do so, pick ONE passage from somewhere in chapter 7, 8, or 9, and perform a close reading, following the directions on the handout. You are welcome to choose any passage, but I'd suggest finding one that focuses on characterization of Gatsby, since that's what you'll be writing your essay on. I returned your first paragraphs, so you could refer to your original idea...remember, the characterization may have shifted substantially. That's ok--that's what you'll be writing about!
- For the 1-2 paragraph response, focus on how the passage helps us understand Gatsby, within the context of the story overall. Focus on the language specifically.
