English 12 Block 2
Homework for Tuesday
  • Read Chapter 1 of The Great Gatsby for Tuesday.
  • Interested in reading The Great Gatsby on an e-reader or iPad? Download (by right-clicking and choosing Save Target/Link As) and save the novel in epub format. Most phones, e-readers and iPads will be able to use epub in their reading apps.
  • Study for next Wednesday's writing test:
  • Did you write Thursday's in-class essay? If not, you'll need to write the essay in-class (not at home) and after school within the next week. A new coin flip will be used.
    • Complete the quotation sheet and have at least 2-3 quotations ready for each essay topic. I want to see at least two quotations per essay. BRING THIS SHEET TO CLASS. Also, review the videos below.
    • Complete an outline for each of the essay topics. Because of the flex day on Wednesdays and its shortened classes, we will postpone the in-class essay until Thursday. Wednesday is important, however, as we will work on quotations (see below). BRING THIS SHEET TO CLASS.
    • Complete a T-chart (of similarities and differences) for both essay options.
    • Complete one page of notes on both "I Have a Dream" and "If Hitler Asked..."
