- Tonight, you should read and annotate Chapter 2 of Gatsby. Remember, Nick is in for quite a shock in this chapter when he travels to Myrtle's apartment for a "party." Be prepared to tell me about the differences you've noticed in Myrtle and Daisy when you return tomorrow.
Block F:
- In class today we started to consider what the Creature has been learning about since he has been "creeping," as you say, on the cottagers. We focused today on what Safie and Felix's relationship revealed to the Creature. Tonight, please update your timeline with details from our discussion today. Shelley had a purpose when she included the Safie story--our job is to figure out what it is.
Block A:
- Today we explored how David Foster Wallace employs narrative voice, language and structure in his creative nonfiction. Using elements of his craft, your job this week is to go on an adventure (although Lobster festivals and cruise ships are off limits, as Wallace has already covered those places extensively). You will need to go out in the world and capture a place or event with fresh eyes. Immerse yourself in a foreign setting and use Wallace's techniques to report on your experience. You should have a PLAN by WEDNESDAY. You will have some time to conduct research on Wednesday and you will have the weekend to accomplish this task.
