每週 1-2 小時. Students will read approximately 30-40 pages a week on their own time. Each lesson, 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. 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 review activities like vocabulary words and an optional trivia quiz to test their comprehension from the weekly chapters.評估

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a decadent tale of love, wealth, and betrayal. This classic American novel is required reading for a lot of high school students. It is the perfect book for group discussion and analysis because Fitzgerald's use of language and symbolism can be hard to appreciate and understand when reading alone. Students will read approximately 30-40 pages a week on their own time. Each lesson a new video will discuss the pages that the students have previously read. This class does not meet live. The prerecorded sessions will emphasize characters, their motivations, theme, story plausibility, and inferences about what might come next. We will also refer to any symbolism within the story and discuss what the author intended to represent with those symbols. Each lesson, students will have access to a video that covers the important elements of the week's reading and a corresponding one page worksheet with discussion questions and places for fill-in-the blank answers. The worksheets will also address/remind the students of some of the important topics from each chapter. I assign a short writing assignment focused around that week's discussion questions and ask the students to share their responses in the classroom. I also ask students to submit any vocabulary words the students didn't recognize or passages the students did not understand. The more questions the students ask, the more "discussion" we can have in the classroom after each chapter. Lesson breakdown: Students will receive a worksheet and discussion questions for each weekly video. There is one weekly writing assignment to complete after the weekly readings. I will post a vocabulary word from the weekly reading for the students to use in a sentence that showcases their understanding of the definition. I also post a link to an optional Gatsby-themed Kahoot! trivia review quiz that the students can complete to further immerse themselves in this world.

The prerecorded sessions will emphasize characters, their motivations, theme, story plausibility, and inferences about what might come next. We will also refer to any symbolism within the story and discuss what the author intended to represent with those symbols. Students will have opportunities to discuss their own thoughts through a worksheet and writing assignment.

其他詳情
父母的引導和規範
From Commonsensemedia.org: The Great Gatsby is a romantic yet cynical novel about the wealth and habits of a group of New Yorkers during the Jazz Age. Fitzgerald pains a grim portrait of shallow characters who maneuver themselves into complex situations. This classic American novel is required reading for a lot of high school students, and it can be appreciated and understood on some levels by teenagers. However, Fitzgerald's use of language and symbolism is best appreciated by mature readers able to analyze literature and think critically. Parents also need to know that some characters express racial and religious prejudice.
供應清單
The students will need a copy of The Great Gatsby to read on their own. It can be borrowed from the library or even listened to as an audio book. The students will not need a physical copy of the story in class, although they may find it helpful to have while filling out their worksheets or working on their writing assignment.

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. I currently teach English Composition at my local nursing college. 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.
