[from my MOM to yours: "It feels good to be healthy."]
JOURNAL TOPIC:
Today's journal asks you to consider an imaginary question.
Imagine
that your ability to pass this course on the semester report card is
based on one thing: at some point, a random person will walk up to you
somewhere on campus and say, "Hey, I heard you read The Great Gatsby.
What's it about?" If you answer the question correctly, you will
receive an A in the course; if you blow it, and just describe the action
in the plot, you will... oh, let's not worry about that.
How would you answer the Gatsby question? What was this book about?
AGENDA:
[MOM]
1. Journal
2. Discussion: Gatsby
POST:
Describe your perspective on today's discussion. What do you think is the central message of the book? (title: CUE THEME MUSIC)
