Fitzgerald Bonus

Since we are reading F. Scott Fitzgerald, a local author, students may earn bonus by exploring areas of significance in St. Paul that relate to the author for bonus formative.

To complete this task, have a photo of yourself taken in front of Fitzgerald's statue in Rice Park, in front of the Fitzgerald Theater in downtown St. Paul, and in front of the house he lived in on Summit Avenue (between the 500 and 600 block - do a websearch to find the exact address). Print the photos for me--DO NOT EMAIL ME DIGITAL COPIES AS THEY JAM UP MY EMAIL! 5 points.

One last formative opportunity for now: watch the movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button or read the short story, and write a one page reflection connecting the story's themes to class. 5 points.
