  1. The Great Gatsby Chapter Three

  2. Yesterday we looked at a possible structure for 1(a) questions on “The Great Gatsby” • Today we’re going to apply this structure to Chapter 3: • How does Fitzgerald tell the story in Chapter 3 of “The Great Gatsby”?

  3. A reminder of the suggested approach: • Introduce your essay looking at the chapter’s function in the plot (what important things happen?) • Always write about voice (ticking the “form” box) and aim to address 2 other aspects of narrative (settings; time and sequence; characterisation; point of view ....) • Aim to discuss at least 3 different uses of language • Conclude by linking the chapter into key themes in the novel, and glancing ahead to what comes next.

  4. Introduction: 10 minutes: • Skim through the chapter to remind yourself of its key events. Check you know how chapter 2 ends and how chapter 4 starts. • In pairs, make bullets point for an introductory paragraph • Feedback to class

  5. 2nd paragraph:10 minutes: • What is there to be said about “voice” in this chapter? Is the first person narrator significant? How is the reader invited to view the events / characters of this chapter through the narrator’s voice? • Write the first sentence of your second paragraph and bullet point the rest. • Feedback to class.

  6. 3rd paragraph:10 minutes: • Choose another “aspect of narrative” that you feel is relevant to this chapter. • Choose one or two details of language that will help you to examine it • Write the first sentence of your third paragraph and bullet point the rest. • Feedback to class

  7. 4th paragraph:10 minutes: • Choose another “aspect of narrative” that you feel is relevant to this chapter. • Choose one or two details of language that will help you to examine it • Write the first sentence of your fourth paragraph and bullet point the rest. • Feedback to class

  8. Conclusion: 10 minutes: • Identify any major themes of the novel which are addressed in this chapter • Identify any major plot function which this chapter plays within the novel • Identify how this chapter leads into the next one • Write the first sentence of your conclusion, and bullet point the rest (NB don’t attempt detailed language analysis in a conclusion – don’t repeat points you have already made – do make clear points about the importance of the chapter in the novel)
