Love or Lust? April 3, 2019

Focus: Is Gatsby a love story or a lust story (or something else)?

Shortened class / lengthened TRIBE

1. Warming up by taking "The Love Quiz" in character

1: Nick
2: Jordan
3: Gatsby
4: Daisy
5: Tom
6: Myrtle

  • Answer the questions in character
  • At the end of the quiz, write down a few reflections: What are you noticing about your character's attitude toward love? Is it admirable? Healthy? Unsettling? Other?
  • With your "love interest," compare answers. Are you a good match? Why or why not? What is the nature of your romance: love, lust, or something else?

2. Reading and journaling about The Great Gatsby, Chapter 6; tomorrow's fishbowl leaders can use this time to prepare! Yes!

1. For THURSDAY: Read and journal on Chapter 6 in The Great Gatsby.

2. THIS FRIDAY MARKS THE END OF 12 WEEKS; any make-up or revised work from the past 6 weeks must be submitted before you go to bed on Friday.
