The Great Gatsby test is tomorrow



The Great Gatsby test is tomorrow. It will cover the whole book. There will be matching questions, quotes for you to tell me who is speaking, short answers questions, and two paragraph (not essay) answers. Today, you will discuss the five paragraph questions. Of these five questions, three of them will be on the test tomorrow. You only have to write about two of them on the test though, but you don't know which three you will have to choose from tomorrow (HA HA HA HA HA !!!!! - It's fun to be a teacher!!!) In your groups, discuss your question; then you will have a chance to talk about it with the class. I know you will do just fine. I hope all is well, and I'll see you on Friday!!!! Remember - don't answer what you think I want to hear. Write/say what you feel, and as long as you can back up your answers with specific details from the book, you will be correct! There are many correct answers here.
