Our group did well on explaining the evidence we did have and connecting it to the claim.

A grow is we could have probably used a quote rather than paraphrasing what we remembered from the text.

Claim: In the novel The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the narrator Nick Carraway's first person point of view reveals his perception of himself as inferior to those around him.

Glow: Established a strong line of reasoning that could be supported with evidence.

By centering on Nick's point of view during this introduction, it reveals how Nick perceives and treats the world and people around him.

Glow: Responded to the prompt and was relevant to the topic.

Grow: Could be elaborated/worded in a more clear and significant way, and could create a better line of reasoning.

Nick's first person point of view is written in a way that demonstrates his role as an observer, as he seems to disappear into the events around him that he describes, he's more of a background character in the story that he's experiencing.

Grow: We could work on adding more text citation

Glow: We've got a strong claim and commentary.

Chapter 1 claim

Claim: In the beginning of the novel, Gatsby is introduced as mysterious and a man of influence in propinquity to Long Island.

We think our group did a good job on using a refined vocabulary relative to the novel, to better illustrate our ideas. We think we can improve upon our use of evidence, we were sorely lacking in textual evidence, we could fix this by adding direct quotes and commentary.

Nick being raised to appreciate his privilege allows him to have a different perspective from Tom, Daisy, and Jordan who have always had it easy in life and have never had to consider a world outside of themselves.

Glow: We considered Nick's perspective in context of his upbringing and how that affects his view of society.

Grow: Failed to address Nick's possibility of being a unreliable or biased narrator.
