Seasons of Love from Rent

Gatsby
As you read, doubtless you will find lines, passages, and even general ideas that you don't quite understand. Everyone does. Here's your assignment for the day:
Divide your paper in half, down the middle.

Write three (3) good questions dealing with      Then divide into groups of three and work together
the first two chapters of The Great Gatsby.      to find answers to your own questions.
                                                                    Today you will answer one question per student

1.                                                                 1.                                                      

2.                                                                 2.

3.                                                                 3.
By the time you finish the novel, I'd like you to have a total of nine (9) questions with answers. The book has nine chapters, but you don't necessarily have to have one question per chapter--that's a rough guide. You will then type a 1 1/2 page double-spaced response to one of the questions, citing the novel in at least two spots.
