Not well. Don't know. Probably not this week. Thanks for asking though.

are we just going to have a substitute give us our midterm?

Ms J said...

It is entirely possible. I would encourage you and your classmates to be honest about this testing process. I have noticed a disappointingly high number of cheaters on the Devil and Tom Walker Quiz.

well I hope you get better

Ms J said...

Thank you Mandy. I am anxious to return to school, but at this point it is just not an option.

Ms J said...

I have made you a treat for tomorrow and I just wanted you to know that I am not contagious. They are safe.

mandy said...

Thanks for the brownies! They were awesome

chels said...

the treats were very nice mrs jones
thank youu!
do you know when you will be returning yet?

Ms J said...

Not really. The good thing for you is that you don't have my class again until....Wednesday? Is that when your next Gatsby quiz is?

How was the midterm? I know there was a numbering gap, I forgot to tell the sub to give you the heads up. Hopefully you didn't panic.

I thought it was kind of easy. Except for 2 of the questions on the 1st page. They were the ones about the mistreatment of someone by the Native Americans and Whites. I wasn't sure if the N. American one went w/the N. American lit or if the White one went with the slave lit. They were a little confusing.

chels said...

i thought they were both native american. but yeah the sub did tell us about to skipping of numbers and one didnt have a it was just b c d and e.

i think our next gatsby quiz is wed but im not positive. i like this book so much more than huck fin

teach, the midterm was totally bogus.

can you give me extra credit?

Ms J said...

Intruder alert! I think you ladies know the culprit. Class, meet Chris Wallace, Crafter Extraordinaire. He can make a meal, a necklace, and a toy.

If someone will double check his or her calendar about that Gatsby Quiz I would appreciate it. I need to start creating some good discussion questions.

I'm glad you like this book. What about it do you like? Honestly, I love the story but I dislike all the characters. I think Nick is too passive-he just lets everyone walk all over him. Gatsby is dillusional (oh the power of love) and Daisy is...well just not nice. What good is there to say about Tom? Myrtle is again in some dream world. I feel like the viewer watching the actors make all these mistakes and I want to scream at the screen "WAKE UP".

How do you guys feel about the characters?
