To the right is the note sheet you should use to take notes on the 1920s Google Slides presentation above if you were absent and did not receive a hard copy of the note sheet in class.
Taking notes, especially by hand if possible, will help to reinforce the background information in your mind and is also crucial in helping you to better understand the social, political, and cultural climate of Gatsby.
Click on the link below to read Ernest Hemingway's "In Another Country." Be aware that this version does not have the helpful definitions and explanations that are on the class handout of the story, so use a reading strategy-- look up any words you don't know.
Use your reading strategies with Gatsby. One of those strategies is looking up words and terms that you don't know, and these two documents on the right are here to help you do that. One is a list of the MANY 1920s cultural, geographical, and historical allusions, and the other is the vocabulary guide with definitions for words in each chapter that you will fill in for homework. If you lose the paper copy for either resource, you can reprint from here.
