AGENDA:
1. We read! (Start The Great Gatsby together.)
2. We write! (Journal and begin writer/essay conferences.)
3. We win! (That's actually self-explanatory.)
JOURNAL TOPIC:
Sometimes
when we start a book it's easy to get impatient with all the background
information the author gives (on places, characters etc.) before
something actually happens. Why do we get all of this stuff first? What did we learn in the first few pages of reading today? How
does it help to know these things when the action starts and the plot
gets going? What would we miss if The Great Gatsby started with a chase scene?
