I have a Master's Degree in Creative Writing for Children and Young Adults. I was a substitute teacher for three years before teaching full-time on Outschool for the past two years. I have been blessed to discuss F. Scott Fitzgerald in the classroom multiple times, including my own high school reading experience! I vividly remember by high school English teacher ranting about Fitzgerald's descriptions of East and West Egg and writing a lot of essays on his use of symbolism! (The billboard with the eyes will forever haunt me!) I reread this book as an adult and have watched the DiCaprio movie. I learn something new every time I am exposed to this story. It is an excellent book to discuss because there are so many lies, half-truths, and cover ups to analyze. I am excited to read it alongside your student to see what emotions and feelings Fitzgerald's images and descriptions stir up for them.

Homework Offered
Students will read approximately 30-40 pages a week on their own time. Each Sunday, students will have access to the new video and a corresponding one page worksheet with discussion questions and places for fill-in-the blank answers. Each week, I assign a short writing assignment focused around that week's discussion questions and ask the students to share their responses in the classroom. There are also daily activities each day like vocabulary words, an I Spy game, and trivia to test their comprehension from the weekly chapters. 
1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
The more questions, comments, and posts that students share in the classroom, the more I can understand their knowledge and comprehension of the topics we are discussing.
