Bell Ringer- Review
- What happened in Chapter 6?
- Went over today's activity (see handout below)
Activity- Research and Debate
- Students finished reading Chapter 7 (30 minutes)
If they were on a debate team, their journal notes were specific to their side of the case and included quotes (with page numbers) to support their side
If they were on the jury, they made a t-chart in their journal and recorded evidence for both sides, as they read.
- Debate
Case 1- Does Daisy love Tom or Gatsby more?
Case 2- Is Gatsby responsible for Myrtle's death? (Guilty or Not Guilty)
Each side presented an opening argument, questions, rebuttal, and closing remarks.
The jury took more notes in their journals then deliberated (out loud for a grade) after the case was presented.
Video- Ended class by viewing these short video clips associated with Chapter 7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xQqqokknMo
