Finishing The Great Gatsby Discussion (ES 1, 4)<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PK1cNpykRqc?rel=0" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0"></iframe> Directions & Point Breakdown: Spell check your post before submitting and keep all posts academic. Though this is social, it is still considered a formal setting. Your initial post is worth 2 points. You will be graded on grammar, spelling, and thoughtfulness of response. To make your response thoughtful, use the PEA Method. State your point, provide evidence to support it, and tell us why your evidence proves your point. You can earn 2 more points (for a total of 4) for posting 2 more times in the discussion board. The posts can be questions or thoughtful comments. Posting "I agree" or a 1 sentence response will not earn your credit. You'll need to explain your thoughts thoroughly. Questions: 1. Do you think Fitzgerald supported his argument well? Why or why not? 2. A great writer can be the voice of a generation. What kind of voice does Fitzgerald provide through Nick and Gatsby? What does this voice tell us about the concerns of their generation? 3. If you were the voice of your generation, what would be your most important argument to make? Would you convey your argument in a novel, speech, or essay? Why?
