SWBAT: Explain symbolism in the text

Wall Questions: Go around with your partner to each of the wall questions and answer the questions. Try not to peek at the answers unless you have NO idea. You may go to the questions in any order– go to a wall question that doesn’t have any people around it. After, I will call on random people to tell me the most thoughtful question they read.

Review HW: Is Gatsby happy that Tom asks about causing a row in his house? How does Daisy feel about telling Tom that she might be leaving him? What begins to turn the tables on Gatsby? What makes Daisy start to turn away from him? Who “won” the conversation? Gatsby or Tom? How do you know? What happened to Myrtle? Why?
