after reading strategies.

Vocab
• Make sure you review the vocabulary words
form the last 3 quizzes.
Retest
• Look at the standards listed next to your name.
▫ If the standard is highlighted, you have the choice
to retest that particular standard.
 Even though you have the choice, if you retest and
answer correctly it will raise your grade.
▫ If the standard is NOT highlight, you MUST
complete those standards.
Analysis of Retest
• Check your answers on your answer sheet!
▫ Fill out the standard sheet for the retest.
• Staple your original answer sheet and standard
sheet together with your retest answer sheet,
retest standard sheet, and list of standards
highlighted/non highlighted slip of paper.
Color Activity
• Track a particular color that was used in the novel.
• Notice how Fitzgerald uses the color and the character(s)
it relates to.
For example: Fitzgerald often uses red when Tom is
in a scene. What connection can be made between the color
and the character? What do we perceive about the color
red? Use the color meaning chart to help.

• Now discuss with your table the colors and the
characters.
• Why do you think color and character development was
used so predominately by Fitzgerald?
