1. Wednesday, March 2, 2011 Good morning, English 11! Good morning! Please get a book and sit down ASAP! We need to hurry! Turn in late papers in the basket on the cart. Put exit pass 7 next to them.

2. Business! If you have not turned in your persuasive paper, you are currently failing English 11. You must get me your paper ASAP. There is work for you to pick up on the grey table by the window. Hour 1 is on the left. Get it at the end of the hour or before class tomorrow when you arrive earlier. I provided individual grade updates for you. DO NOT LOSE THIS. Attach any late work to this grade update and check off what you have attached. I returned a few papers that are incomplete for some reason. Please get them back to me ASAP.

3. Please turn to the appropriate page and continue reading. Ch. 6. – pp. 103 - 118 Today we learn the true story about Gatsby and more about Dan Cody. Take a look at your study guide questions for Ch. 6. If we hurry, I will show you part of the movie – Ch. 5 & 6. The Great Gatsby

4. The Great Gatsby – Chapter 6 “… Just why these inventions were a source of satisfaction to James Gatz of North Dakota isn’t easy to say. James Gatz – that was really, or at least legally his name… pp. 103 - 104

5. The Great Gatsby – Chapter 6 “His parents were shiftless and unsuccessful farm people…” p. 104

6. The Great Gatsby – Chapter 6 “An instinct toward his future glory led him…to the small Lutheran college of St. Olaf in southern Minnesota…” p. 105

7. “Then he drifted back to Lake Superior, and he was still searching for something to do on the day that Dan Cody’s yacht dropped anchor in the shallows along shore.” p. 105 The Great Gatsby – Chapter 6

8. Pay attention to Daisy’s reaction to Gatsby’s party (pp. 112 – 114). Also, pay attention to what Gatsby says on p. 116. These passages are very important (having to do with his dream of Daisy and repeating the past).
