We discussed the middle three chapters of The Great Gatsby, then we took the quiz.

HOMEWORK:  Finish the novel by 5/16.  Test on 5/21.

WHAT’S NEXT:  Debate

We began with a column from Poynter about remembering the people behind the stories.  The writer used the Iwo Jima photo as an example.  Click here for the article.

Following that we continued with layout.

HOMEWORK:  Story Generators due tomorrow.

We talked about notetaking and outlining for the research paper.  Pages 515 to 518 in the text book contain more information about how to do a research paper.
