What's Happening This Week in Class (4/16-4/20)

This week we are continuing our novel unit on The Great Gatsby.

Monday- Students should have read through Chapter 6 in The Great Gatsby. We will have a reading/quotation analysis quiz today.

Tuesday-The class will meet in the computer lab today for a tutorial on VoiceThread. I will assign the Character Metaphor Project that will be completed using the VoiceThread technology. This project is due on Tuesday, April 24.
Here is the link to the website where your students can access this technology: VoiceThread

Wednesday-The students need to bring their copy of The Great Gatsby to class. We will spend the class period catching up on the reading.

Thursday- Students should have read through Chapter 7. We will complete a connection to meaning chart and the students will have some time to begin planning their Character Metaphor Project.

Friday- We will spend the class period in the computer lab working on the VoiceThread for the Character Metaphor project. Students will need a copy of The Great Gatsby and any other materials they have chosen to use for this project.

Homework- Continue working on your Character Metaphor Projects, read Chapter 8 for Monday, and have a great weekend!
