Agenda:
1. How can writing every day through journal help me improve my writing?
2. How can I correctly apply the rules of grammar through DGP?
3. How can I acquire and use new vocabulary?
4. How does historical context affect literature? (View short film on Fitzgerald's life)
5. How can I work collaboratively with my peers, through a wiki (technological medium), to improve my understanding of characterization, themes, symbols, and plot of The Great Gatsby?
- Note: The Huck Finn/quotes/book club page competition ends Thursday night at Midnight. There will be an individual prize and a class prize for the most posts. Friday morning at 12:01 am, the Great Gatsby competition begins. There will be a prize for the FAMILY with the most posts. This competition ends November 13 at 11:59 pm. The prize will be determined by Ms. Dobbs and will be a surprise. In order to receive credit for a post, the student must add NEW material to the GATSBY/Modern section of our wiki, and the post must be at least 3 sentences!

Homework:
1. Vocabulary Assessmen 9- F 10/24
2. Bring The Great Gatsby to class - F 10/24 (read/skim ch. 1 if you can!)

Due to an egregious oversight on my part, I will not be able to help students after school on Friday. I am in the Homecoming parade and will be leaving school early.

As such, I am pushing the due date of your TSL Rewrite back ONE day. Your rewrite is now due Tuesday 10/7 IN CLASS. You need to turn in with your paper the following: 1) your new paper; 2) your rubric for the NEW paper; 3) your OLD paper with all drafts and rubrics and Turnitin.com reports

Davia A may have the first choice of when she meets with me on Monday to discuss her paper, as she had signed up to meet with me on Friday afternoon.

All others have the following time slots, which will be filled by signing up on the WIKI!

Monday morning: 7:00 am-7:10
7:10-7:20
7:20-7:30
7:30-7:40
7:40-7:50
7:50-8:00
