Read the excerpt about East/West Egg
Choose 1 partner (or work alone).
If you choose to create a play, then you may have 4 students in
your group, but be sure to create at least one prop
Draw a picture, create a mini-play, or create a model that
illustrates (contrasts) the difference between the inhabitants of
East and West Egg. Be sure to discuss where Fitzgerald would be
(East or West) and explain why!
You will only have twenty-thirty minutes to come up with and
create your idea
You will present to the class on Thursday.
Ideas:
Copy/paste/print pics of people from the 20’s. Bring them in and
create a “story” that depicts the dynamic between East/West Egg.
Make sure your scenery and dialogue evokes the true sense of
“wealth” in each area.
Create a graphic novel page or booklet that depicts the contrast
between East/ West and its inhabitants
Draw a map of the two “eggs” and add descriptive elements
Write a script and “act” out the dynamics between East/ West
egg. You could be characters from the story…or you could mix
them with modern characters to add a unique flair. Think about
the people you researched for your “Rich and Famous” project!
