It's All Great and about Gatsby


We have just started the novel, The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and unlike Catcher in the Rye where we read the novel in class, you are going to be responsible for reading large parts of the novel on your own. With that being said, we will discuss what is going on in the novel in class. You read at home, annotate in your book or on post-it-notes (if you've borrowed the novel) and come to class prepared to ask questions, discuss and dissect the chapters you were responsible for reading.

Only one problem really persists--yes, you can talk your way out of the discussion questions in class without having actually read the novel so what's a Mrs. Ordway to do?

Well, you will be given online quizzes about the pages or chapters I've asked you to read on your own. Now, we will discuss the BIG ideas in class, but I am free to quiz you about things you will know only if you've read. See. Sneaky.

Here is your first quiz just click on the link ----->  Great Gatsby Chapter One Quiz take the quiz and Viola! You're done with the first quiz.
