1. Journal: What would you deem the overall mood/tone of these texts?

2. Journal Check
Turn in your journals/warm up activities for the following dates:
11/10: Picture analysis sheet for Gatsby image
11/21: What is your favorite thing to argue about?
11/29: Sum up your research topic in 3 words or less
12/5: Societal standards in your text
12/15: TODAY
Each day is worth 20 points – QUIZ GRADE

3. Presenting the projects
Take 10 minutes in your group to decide who is going to present each part of your project (the various components of the image)
Each person needs to talk equally as the presentation is a portion of your grade!
Make sure you address why you chose the images you chose, as well as what they represent from the text and how they display themes, symbols, tones, moods, or characters from the text.

4. You have 4 minutes MAXIMUM to present – The class will then have 1 minute to ask any questions
Be as concise and meaningful as possible!

5. Post-Presentations Any lingering questions about the texts?
On a scrap piece of paper, write down what the most moving moment of the text was for you. What lesson can we learn from Janie, Grant, Tea Cake, Jefferson, Vivian, Joe, etc.?

6. American Literature
We have talked about how American Literature often deals with the dark underbelly of humanity. Make a list of the qualities/characteristics of people that you text deals with.
Once you’ve created your list, come up with an opposite quality/characteristic from each one that you came up with.
Then, create a line with the original characteristic on the left, and the opposite characteristic on the right. Place each character from the text on the line where you feel they fit with the characteristic. Use textual evidence to provide reasoning for your placement.
