Thursday 10.30.14 Homework

Block G:

For those of you who attended, I hope you enjoyed today's production of Macbeth. 
Here's what I would like you all to do tonight:

Read Chapter 2 in Gatsby. Be on the look out for the following:

  • a billboard
  • the Valley of Ashes
  • some drunk people
  • a nasty bit of violence. 
By the end of the chapter, you should be able to answer this question: 
What's the deal with Myrtle's nose, and what does it reveal about life in this time and place?


Block B:

  • Write your own version of "The Pony Problem." Focus on one object, and use it as a starting point to tell a story that reveals something interesting about you or an experience that you've had. Be detailed. Be creative. Write at least 500 words. Bring in your TYPED response on Monday!
Block C:
  • Finish reading and annotating Chapter 3 and complete the close reading packet activities for Monday.
