Target: to practice digging deeper into a text by asking questions that invite conversation and debate.
- Rereading chapter 7 with your group, find the most important passages to reread:
- What are they?
- Nick forgets his birthday: "It was seven o'clock...." page 143
- Nick enters the Buchanan house for lunch: "The room, shadowed well with awnings..."
- Tom's reaction to Myrtle's death: "
- The description of Myrtle's dead body: "Michaelis and this man reached her first..."
- The fight scene in the hotel..."Even now I couldn't say that I loved Tom...
- Daisy's daughter is introduced: "Bless-ed precious...."
- Scene at Wilson's place on the way to the city: "There is no confusion...."
- Myrtle sees Tom from above and thinks Jordan is Daisy
- Nick peeps in the window of Buchanan kitchen towards the end of the evening
- The departure for the city
- The weather
- As a group, ask a text-specific question about the diction, detail, syntax or tone of one of the passages here and then answer one as well! (not your own, please)
- See EYES padlet http://goo.gl/W0u5ph...any new insights?
