O Watch the video of Mr. Blanco reading “One Today” at the top of this post, and then read the poem underlining what you think are its most important words. Explain why you think these particular words and images are important to the poem’s meaning.

O In the first and seventh stanzas, the speaker makes reference to geographical places. What do these places suggest? What do they mean to Americans?

O Throughout the poem we find many references to labor and work. Identify these lines and phrases. What kind of work does the speaker in the poem honor and respect? What are these lines saying about America and Americans?

O This poem was first read on Martin Luther King’s Birthday celebration in Washington. Explain the allusion entailed in “the ‘I have a dream’ we keep dreaming”?

O The sixth stanza begins “Hear” and goes on to catalog the ordinary sounds of a day. What do the multilingual versions of “Hello” suggest about the America that Mr. Blanco is describing? Why do you think he calls out “buenos dias / in the language my mother taught me”? What do these lines suggest about the poet’s relationship with that language?

Page 27: English  11   Ms . Gottlieb

O In 2006, Senator Barack Obama wrote “The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream,” offering a vision of how a united nation could tackle our common problems. Mr. Blanco writes in the poem’s concluding stanza, “hope – a new constellation / waiting for us to map it, / waiting for us to name it – together.” Relate these lines to the notion suggested by the title of the Obama book.

O Identify lines in the poem that reflect the occasion for which the poem was written. How do the lines you have chosen suggest issues surrounding the inauguration of a president?

O Read the poem again selecting a line or phrase that struck you as luminous or beguiling. Write for five minutes about what the line caused you to think. Turn to a partner or small group, read the poem aloud once more, and discuss the selected lines.

O According to the Times article about Mr. Blanco, he only learned of his selection on Dec. 12, then began drafting three poems from which the Obama team chose. What do you think might be hard about composing a poem like this? Why? Mr. Blanco is quoted as saying he wanted to write about “the salt-of-the-earth sense that I think all Americans have, of hard work, we can work it out together, that incredible American spirit that after 200-plus years is still there.” How well do you think he succeeded? What else from the article do you see reflected in “One Today”?

Theme• Theme in Literature: A message about life,

society or human nature.

• The theme is not told to us directly, rather we need to figure out the “message” based on characters, action, setting, symbols etc.

• A theme is not the same as a topic which can usually be expressed in one or two words.

Page 39: English  11   Ms . Gottlieb
Page 40: English  11   Ms . Gottlieb

Page 47: English  11   Ms . Gottlieb

O Write a paragraph explaining how the theme is being explored in these two chapters.What comment/message is Fitzgerald trying to make about the the theme thus far? Please provide specific examples from the text to back up your ideas.

O Fitzgerald seems to stress the extravagance and materialism of the era when Lucille, a guest at the party in Ch. 3, tells the story of Gatsby giving her a new dress. Not only does she tell the story, but she makes a point of noting the cost of the dress, “Two hundred and sixty five dollars” and that the dress came from “Croirer’s” indicating a sense of status and superiority. Social status to her means high class clothing and money.

O Socratic Seminar

O Journal #15: Now that Daisy and Gatsby have found each other, what do you think they should do next? Using what you know about the 20’s, and about the characters, describe what choices you think they should make.

O Character Analyses: model review – focused notetakingO notes,O AnalysisO Central idea/theme of each paragraph

Page 57: English  11   Ms . Gottlieb

Socratic Seminar Questions1. How do we see the main characters in the book changing? 2. How are the reader’s perceptions of specific characters changing?

3. On page 98 Gatsby points out to Daisy the green light at the end of her dock allowing him to see her home from his. Nick interprets his expression when he writes, “Possibly it had occurred to him that the colossal significance of that light had now vanished forever. Compared to the great distance that had separated him from Daisy it had seemed very near to her, almost touching her. It had seemed as close as a star to the moon. Now it was again a green light on a dock. His count of enchanted objects had diminished by one.”

What does the green light symbolize? What is its significance to Gatsby and his relationship with Daisy? Why had this significance of the green light vanished? Go beyond The Great Gatsby: what is your own personal “green light”?

4. Gatsby is a complicated man, with two sides to him. Describe the two sides and what this says about his character.

Page 58: English  11   Ms . Gottlieb

5. In class we discussed the title of the novel, The Great Gatsby. Extend our discussion: What does the title make you think about? Do you think Gatsby is truly worthy of the name “great”? Why do you think Fitzgerald might have chosen this title (using the limited information we have so far in the book)?

6. When Gatsby shows Daisy his shirts from England she cries into them saying, “They’re such beautiful shirts…I’ve never seen such-such beautiful shirts before.” Why do you think Daisy responds this way? What does this tell the reader about Daisy?

7. Read the following quote: “There must have been moments even that afternoon when Daisy tumbled short of his dreams-not through her own fault, but because of the colossal vitality of his illusion. It had gone beyond her, beyond everything. He had thrown himself into it with creative passion, adding to it all the time, decking it out with very bright feather that drifted his way. No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will sore up in his ghostly heart.” (95-96).

What is Nick saying here? Put this quote into your own words. What insight do we gain into Gatsby? What is this quote telling us about Daisy?

Page 59: English  11   Ms . Gottlieb

Fitzgerald StyleO With your partner, rewrite the following sentences, using

exactly the same syntax.  The subject of your replications need not be the same subject or express the same sentiment.

Most of the confidences were unsought – frequently I have feigned sleep, preoccupation or a hostile levity when I realized by some unmistakable sign that an intimate revelation was quivering on the horizon – for the intimate revelations of young men or at least the terms in which they express them are usually plagiaristic and marred by obvious suppressions.

This was a valley of ashes – a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens, where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and finally, with a transcendent effort, of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air.

InterviewingGardner: "What do you see as the American Dream?"

Pitts: "The American Dream is basically that here is a place where you can be judged, where you can reinvent yourself, you can be judged on what you and what you become rather than on who your parents were or who your grandparents were. You're not judgedon the old country if your folks came here through Ellis Island. "You're not judged on anything else except what you bring to the table and you have, under the American Dream, you have the opportunity to go as far as your pluck, yourluck, your hard work and your talent will take you. ... That's my version of the AmericanDream."
