The Great Gatsby begins

Flappers!

Here is the schedule and instructions for our Gatsby readings and literary device entries!

Here's an abbreviated study guide for those who find them useful. It is NOT required that you complete this.

We are going through this pretty fast -- essentially 9 chapters in about 2 weeks. Don't fall behind and feel free to read ahead if you'd like, though out of respect for those who don't appreciate spoilers, please confine discussions to the schedule.

We'll have a itty-bitty, little in-class writing event that will in no way extend into anything bigger with sources or word limits. The limit does not exist...except of course the limit imposed upon us by the class schedule. Either that of we'll do a project. I'll give you guys the choice. We'll talk Friday.

Literary Device Entries
Over the course of this short unit, you'll write two (2) literary device entries. Instructions are here. We'll go over them on Friday (tomorrow).

Use this literary device website to look up devices. It has good definitions, explanations, and multiple examples for each term.
