Schedule for Week of 26 November:

Journals for Chapters 4-6 due Monday, 26 November-Please Note that this assignment and due date was posted LAST week. Furthermore, the quality of the Journals for Chapters 1-3 is unacceptable-especially for students in English 11! I am considering having a parent sign your assignments...

C and F Bands: Expect a quiz on either Chapter 4 OR 5 OR 6. Bring your novel to class-we will engage in a "Seminar-type" discussion involving an "issue" from The Great Gatsby. All must participate!

This discussion will take TWO class bands and then near the end of the band on Tuesday, 27 November, you will write a response on the issues (s) discussed.

SAT Vocabulary Quiz: List 8 (Seven words from this list and Three words from List 7)
