Weekly Plans

For The Great Gatsby Unit Plan, I will post what we are doing weekly along with what is done in class and what is to be done at home to prepare for class the next day. The following is an example of how it will look:

Monday- Introduction to The Great Gatsby, watch a YouTube video on the author F. Scott Fitzgerald, and a handout to remember facts.

Tuesday- A brief history of the story and the 1920s shown through a PowerPoint. Assign copies of The Great Gatsby.

Wednesday- An overview of the culture in the US, especially in New York, in the 1920s. Shown through a YouTube Video.

Thursday- Go over the characters found in the story, identify them, and write down first impressions.

Friday- Identify the plot and the storyline, continue reading The Great Gatsbyover the weekend, and prepare for open discussion on Monday.

Please check this weekly, it will keep you up to date as to what we are doing in class and what is due in class. You should also check daily, in case the schedule were to change due to weather, emergencies, etc,.
