Students discussed Chapter 7 of THE GREAT GATSBY. Discussion considered the representation of Daisy in this chapter and Gatsby's reaction when entering the Buchanan house and being introduced to Daisy's daughter. Students considered the significance of Carraway's description when stating that Daisy was 'staring terrified' after being made aware of Gatsby's occupation and why Gatsby looks 'as if he had killed a man.' Class response was outstanding.
The second session considered the representation of nature in the opening section of Coleridge's TROTAM and students produced a twenty minute written response to the question:
How does Coleridge present the natural world in the opening section of TROTAM?
Homework: Read Chapter 7 and the final section of the novel and read Coleridge's TROTAM. Students should listen to this podcast that explores issues within Coleridge's poem. Click on link below:
