AP 12th Grade Notes and Assignment Due 10/15/10

Here are the notes from today about integrating quotes in your writing. This is a good resource for the entire rest of this class.

Here is the document that we created for Raymond Chandler's quote about F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Fitzgerald intended his writing to be "beautiful" and "intricately patterned", and Chandler says that Fitzgerald's work was full of "subdued magic, controlled and exquisite". Can you find examples of "subdued magic" or intricate patterns in Fitzgerald's writing?

Assignment:

Write a 6ish-sentence paragraph with textual evidence, supporting an assertion about Fitzgerald's writing BASED on your reading of the Raymond Chandler quote. Your first sentence is your assertion about Fitzgerald's writing, and the subsequent five sentences are five exampes from the text of The Great Gatsby that support your assertion.

Goals for this short, paragraph-length assignment:
-support your assertion about the relationship between Chandler’s quote and the text of The Great Gatsby (what in the text SHOWS us "subdued", "magic", "controlled", "exquisite").
HINT: if you have read something so far in the text and thought, “oh, that’s cool”, then write about why it’s cool.
-use the rules of integrating quotes
- you will support your assertion with five quotes from The Great Gatsby.
-cite quotes (34).
