5-4 to 5-8

Hi Juniors! Many of you did such a great job last week during our Gatsby small group discussions! I am so grateful to those of you who participated and contributed to the discussions. Thank you.

For those of you who are meeting with me on Monday, be sure you come to the meeting having finished the novel - I am going to call on each of you to add to the discussion, and you are being graded on your contribution.

This week we move out of Gatsby and into one of our last two projects - the Social Justice Project. I am really excited about seeing what you create in this activity, especially in light of all the controversies out there in the world right now.

I. Semester Two Final - Social Justice Project

A. Introduction Lesson: Watch the following lesson with my recording as I will go over the basics of our final project of the school year. This activity will be your actual final for the class.

1. Lesson w/ explanations - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHq-g4T3H8w

project.

3. You can also find the lesson posted on our website under "Social Justice".

B. Zoom Lesson with further details: On Thursday, we will have a half hour Zoom class lesson to go over these directions AND receive more details on the project.

II. The Great Gatsby Final Project (for Gatsby...not the semester)

A. PROJECT DUE DATE EXTENDED: I sent out an email on Friday that extended the due date to Thursday, 5/7

1. Why? Because I want to be fair to those meeting with me on Monday as they may

learn details that need to be changed in their project.

2. Where? Turn in your project on Turnitin.com

i. Yes, this is different than what I indicated previously.

ii. If you have a video, turn in a word document or PDF with the link on it.
