F. Scott Fitzegerald

Good morning everyone,

I hope you all had a wonderful spring break and worked on your collages on wealth. If you did not finish your collage over the break please have it completed by Wednesday.

Take a look at the back wall. Do you remember some of the questions we discussed before break?

1. Today I want you to choose one question that you have something to say about.
2. Open your English journal.
3. Write a three paragraph answer to the question you choose (200+words).
4. Elaborate on your thinking, include examples, and remember that there are two sides to every argument.
5. Make sure if you say something is 'right' or 'wrong' that you also discuss the other side of the argument.

After you completed the essay, take a look at the biography on F. Scott Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald is the famous author of the novel we are about to begin reading. Make sure you will be able to answer questions on his life such as, Who was he? What was his life like? Where was he when he wrote The Great Gatsby?

Below are pictures from one of Fitzgerald's homes in Montgomery, Alabama.
