Read through Ch. 5 and prepare 3 Questions and 3 Observations about the story for tomorrow.
Possible Gatsby project ideas:
REARRANGE A PASSAGE AS A
"FOUND" POEM. Find a particularly effective description or bit of
action that is really poetry written as prose. Rewrite it. Leave out words or
skip a sentence or two, but arrange it to create a poem.
WRITE A PARODY OF THE BOOK. This kind of humorous imitation appeals to many students. Parody the entire book or one scene.

CREATE A DOSSIER ON A CHARACTER.
Pretend that you are a foreign spy sent to report on your chosen character.
Compile into a secret file general and specific information regarding your
character. Don't forget the photo.
DESIGN AND PRODUCE A POSTCARD OR A SERIES OF POSTCARDS. On one side draw/paint/reproduce an appropriate photo and on the other side compose a message to me from one of the characters. There will be automatic A's for the best design, most intriguing message, most distant postmark, and most appropriate postmark (mail it to me from there!).

MAKE A NEW BOOK JACKET. It should
include an attractive picture or cover design, an original summary of the book,
information on the author and illustrator, and information about other books by
the author.
DO A DRAMATIC READING (READER'S
THEATER) OF A SCENE. Select the scene and ask friends to help read it
dramatically.
CONVERT A BOOK INTO A PUPPET SHOW. Make simple puppets (stick puppets, finger puppets, paper bag puppets, and so on) or complex puppets (marionettes) and present the story or an exciting scene from it.

DO A "YOU ARE THERE" news
program reporting on a particular scene, character, or event in the book.
WRITE AND STAGE A TELEVISION SERIES EPISODE. Think of a popular television series that a book or part of it would fit. Then convert it to that series and give the segment before the class.

INTERVIEW A CHARACTER FROM A BOOK.
Prepare questions to give another student. The reader assumes the role of the
character in the book and answers the questions as that character.
THE WRITTEN WORD VERSUS THE VIDEO.
Compare the book to the movie or television version of it. What aspects of the
book have been altered for the visual performance and why? Do these alterations
make the story "better"? Why or why not?
RETURN TO THE FUTURE. Pretend that you
are one of the characters who has "come back" 25 years after the
novel has ended. Describe your reactions.
DESIGN THE ILLUSTRATIONS FOR THE BOOK.
MUSIC
MOVIE TRAILER
