So We Beat On . . .

We'll finish our party with Jay Gatsby this week, and move back into some more contemporary nonfiction reading, analysis, and argument.  The final for Gatsby will be in two parts--a seminar and a written analysis.  Speaking of analysis, we'll also take a look at the results of our first AP rhetorical analysis prompt.  Ain't we got fun?
