American Lit. for September 3-6

Post date: Sep 02, 2019 11:54:41 PM

Here's a quick overview of the coming week:

We will wrap up our mini-unit on "Death of an Innocent"/Into the Wild with the promised debate about Chris McCandless and whether he is someone to be admired or not.

We will introduce The Great Gatsby later this week, with students working on mini-research projects related to varying aspects of the 1920's before we start reading this quintessential novel of that era.

In addition, we will start working with new vocabulary from the novel. Expect a quiz over those words next week.
