Students will be
encouraged to read
this book
independently, though
it is not a requirement.
This book is by the
same author, from the
same time period.
Gatsby, as it is a trailer for a
movie that is to come out
this year (2012) to entertain
the masses. This is
appropriate, as students will
get the chance to see things
from the book, rather than
having to imagine all of it.
This is a reliable source,
written at a lower level for
younger children to
understand. This was
mainly written to entertain
and inform. It will be used
as supplementary material
for the students to write
their narratives.
This is what the unit is all
about, The Great Gatsby.
This author lived in the
1920s, so he is somewhat of
an expert. This book is
timeless, and was originally
written to entertain. We
will be using this book for
almost all of our materials
this unit.
As it is by the same author,
the above credentials apply.
This will be supplementary
material for students to use
in creating their narratives
and their articles. We will
not be using this explicitly
in class.
