The Grrrreat Gatsby!!

The Great Gatsby

Who doesn't love the novel, The Great Gatsby? Well, anyone who has doubts won't anymore with all these materials. With modified chapter questions from (http://www.calaveras.k12.ca.us) and additional resources and materials all put together for you in the following format, teaching this novel couldn't be more easy or exciting. Now, all you have to do is create an essay topic to culminate the unit. Also, with more time, I would have spent the time creating a symbolism worksheet where students could discuss in further detail the symbolic elements of the novel. But for an end of the year novel, this will do.
