This is great. Thank you for sharing!

My district has decided to give all high school students access to Gemini next year, so they can learn to use Ai properly. I'm so worried about the increased level of work for teachers. No to mention 5 days of lessons for students at the beginning of the school year. Not the best use of time to me.

The Talisman is my favorite! I just purchased a copy for my dad. I'm thrilled to hear that you're working on T3.

Original 1925 jacket cover of The Great Gatsby The Great Gatsby Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate a marvellous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period which reveals a hero like no other one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts. "There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life. .. It was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again?" It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous er-tertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe. It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism. CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS The GREAT GATSBY FITZGERALD

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

-FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

Simples!

Ozymandias I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: ‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’ Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Ozymandias

"I'm alive!" said Gatsby, roaring past on a speedboat. He'd faked his own death and gotten away with everything. That's why they called him the Great Gatsby. "Out of the way, current!" he yelled at the water. "This speedboat is bearing me ceaselessly into the future!"

Every time I read The Great Gatsby, the final paragraph brings me to tears. Breathtakingly powerful writing:

Thank you, @heymrsbond.com
I took this class over at the start of the new semester, and I finally got my sea legs back so to speak 😉

I’m so impressed with the depth of student thinking and level of student engagement in my core English class. My students are rockstars when given the tools to soar to new academic heights 🦅

The next day, my students used the Question Formulation Technique to generate as many questions as possible about a slowrevealgraphs.com that we connected to the theme of appearances are not always what they seem. Students connected this to prejudice denying justice & gender role expectations.

Students respond to 4 Text Dependent Questions using 4 quadrants to organize their work.

This week my English 9 students read “Lamb to the Slaughter by Roald Dahl; they used the Building Thinking Classrooms Instructional Framework to deepen their critical analysis of the text. My students answered Text Dependent Questions at whiteboards, $ I was impressed by their thoughtful responses

I love this; however, I find more and more of my students are not aware or apart of the zeitgeist, which makes these convos hard when only a subgroup of your students have seen the media.

I had no idea that this was a fake diagnosis. The article is thought provoking. Thanks for sharing.

Noooo! We need to keep him.

To me this shows the overall impact of Trumps use of the courts. The courts have no way to deal with the uber wealthy and their unlimited appeals and motions. The courts become paralyzed and are unable to take action. Justice delayed is justice denied.

Lord of the Flies does a good job describing the infinite cynicism of the adult world.

My marriage is teaching me that it’s honesty. Tact can be cruel in its own way.

It has to be a combination of both economics and social reform. If everything is done in the name of social reform, and there is no money to support the initiative then the reform wont happen.

My honey moon to St. Lucia was the best vacation I’ve taken because I felt rested and recharged when I came back home.

And De Ligt is stronger player than Yoro. I will concede that it’s a combination of issues.

Disagree. Injuries and illness have prevented an ideal starting line up. Who’s on the pitch matters.

He played a hell of a game!

What a game!!! I was not a fan of the hand ball pen; however, United played valiantly.

I won’t pay a deposit for a hair appointment. I’m in VA, and that isn’t the norm here.

I can’t see United getting rid of Rashford and Garnacho.

Facts 💯

Thank you sharing. I won’t forgot the lines “And how it turns out no one/had the childhood they wanted” or “… lip read the heavens talking on in light,/syllabic stars. I see, at last they pray at us.” anytime soon.
