Class today: November 7th

1. One of the major things we will need to improve upon for the next paper is the connecting of evidence BACK to the argument and/or the major implication of the device's usage.  This is the "WHY" of the argument.  In order to practice this process, you will need to work through the following sentece frames. They are themed through Formalist, New Historicist, Marxism, Gender lenses. You will essentially "filling in the blank" of each sentence but you will be integrating analysis of The Great Gatsby, AND connecting it to the WHY component of analysis.

Sentence Frames- Fitzgerald

2. On Wednesday, we will be having our second Socratic seminar over The Great Gatsby. We will be integrating the Marxism and Gender lenses of critical theory into our discussion. Make sure that you have annotated your text for these two additional lenses.

3. This has pushed back your typed draft of your paper to Friday, November 11th. Please have your paper printed off BEFORE you come to class!
