Due:
Gatsby has been dreaming of being with Daisy again for the last five years. Nick worries that maybe he has built his expectations up too high. Draw a comparison to your own life or to another novel, story, or movie. Describe an event when you really wanted something and then finally got it. Was it as amazing as you had hoped? Or were you disappointed? Explain how/why. 65 words.
Due:
Look back at your name plate on the wall. What did you write as the one thing you love and can always talk about?
TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT right now.
For example, I wrote my son. Rather than me writing a generic paragraph about why I love my son (obviously), I might write about a funny thing he said yesterday or how he's starting t-ball this week and how we feel about that. In other words, write about your topic currently and descriptively, rather than as an overview of why it's awesome. This is the one topic you know all about. Explain it to me.

Directions:
Working in pairs, create a presentation on Google Slides for one of the following literary terms you are assigned (you will not choose). On the slideshow, include the following:
Slide 1: Title Slide (English 11 Literary Terms with partner’s first and last names)
Slide 2: Literary term and its definition
Slide 3: First example of the use of the literary term (with picture)
Slide 4: Second example of the use of the literary term (with picture)
Make sure to check the following before submitting:
Label the project/slideshow (Literary Term with partner’s names)
Correct spelling and grammar
All requirements are met
Font/Color is visible and legible
One partner will create and share the slideshow with their partner so you can both edit at the same time.
The partner who created the slideshow will submit on behalf of both of you.
Every student is responsible for contributing to the slideshow - I can see revision history for each student.
You and your partner will then present the literary term to the rest of the class. Make sure to take handwritten notes during presentations. You’ll each show me your notes, and there will likely be a quiz on these words.
