You will be reading and annotating The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and writing an essay for the Common Application 2020. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me Donna.Shattuck@polk-. Assignments will be due the second Friday after school begins.The Great Gatsby by F. Scott FitzgeraldRead and annotate very carefully, because we will be discussing and analyzing The Great Gatsby in class. You will be able to use your annotated text for a graded discussion first quarter. Marking and annotating a text is like having a conversation with a book—it allows the active reader to ask questions, comment on meaning, and mark events and passages he or she wants to revisit. Annotate - How to Annotate: Make brief notes at the top of the page or on a sticky note to mark important plot events, narrative shifts, or thematically important moments. Circle words that are unfamiliar or unusual—try to figure out the word’s meaning through contextual clues and supplement with a dictionary. Note when new characters are introduced, underline phrases that describe them. Mark words, images, and details that seem to form a pattern throughout the text (motif). For example, if a large clock appears in the first chapter, and then you notice words like “timely” or “ticking” in the text, and then a character checks his/her watch or is late, you may have uncovered a pattern of imagery which will lead you to a thematic idea. Mark passages you think might be symbolic. Write (pencil seems most helpful for me) your thoughts in the margins as you read. Read a second time - note any early references/foreshadowing to events that will occur later in the text. Write questions - write it on the page on which it first occurred to you. Use brackets, checks, stars, bullets, or asterisks to mark very important items or things you want to come back to later. Theme Identification: Note the following themes that take place in the novel. Mark the pages (textual evidence) where these themes occur.Society and ClassLove Visions of America Wealth Memory and the Past Isolation MortalityMarriage Gender Roles Lies and Deceit Compassion and ForgivenessEducationSummer Homework Essay 2020Choose ONE of the essay prompts below and write an essay.
