JOURNAL TOPIC:
I’ve been thinking about the epigraph (gold hat, bouncing etc.). The way I read it in class, it seemed superficial. But as I reflect, there is something beautiful, noble even, about wanting to meet the needs of another person so thoroughly. What do you think? Is the sentiment expressed in the epigraph good or bad advice?
AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Keep reading - I heard that period 2 wanted to read together (thanks Leslie & Esme!) and I think think that’s a great idea. I put the chairs back into groups so that you can organize as a class or smaller reading / working groups.
3. Today’s Wednesday, so if you have any “life after high school” stuff to work on (job/scholarship applications, college research etc.) please do it.
REQUEST:
Please comment to this post and let me know (a) What page you’re on in the book and (b) what you think so far— include any questions you have.

I'm on page 21, Daisy just met Nick. She asked Nick why he did not go to her wedding? But Nick was at war at that time.
ReplyDeleteI'm on page 20. So far everything's been calm but some moments had me anxious. The narrator, Nick, is pulling the reader in with the setting and background information, so it makes me want to know what's going to happen next.
