For Monday, January 26

Begin planning, creating, and perfecting your Gatsby Digital Essay.  The due date is Wednesday, January 28; however, we will have a reading assignment out of your textbook on Monday night, so I do not want you to get stuck with double homework.  Pace yourselves so you can produce a wonderful product, superior in all its parts.  Superior in ALL parts receives an A.

The final digital essay should analyze Fitgerald's use of images to demonstrate his novel's themes and purposes.

I think my final product was about 2 minutes or so.  You decide how long your video must be to communicate your insight into The Great Gatsby.  You are the professional rhetorician.  What IS so great about Gatsby?

We will be reading a few essays and doing some "exam practice" questions next week.  After your break on January 29 and 30, we will begin reading The Picture of Dorian Gray.  This novel has always been a student favorite.  You may want to go ahead and pick up or download your copy.

Have a creative weekend!


Yes, but what does it mean?
