Revising the theme of passion in The Great Gatsby Quotes are chronological and take you up to the beginning of chapter 5. Homework is to collect quotes for the rest of the novel on the theme of passion.

For each slide – 5 minutes per slide 1. Read the quote 2. Put a number in the margin – leave space to copy up quote at home. I will put these slides on the blog. There are ten slides altogether. Leave 5 lines for each quote. Write it in using a different colour. 3. Make notes on the following: Who said it? Type of passion shown? Ways meaning is created ? Identify one A02 term used & effect A03 context link? Extension: Name a poem it could link to and write down a quote from that poem. (if time allows, make notes on the comparison/contrast)
