Just finished up an awesome new novel unit for Gatsby to use with my juniors after spring break. I’ve got them sorted into thematic groups, so they’re practicing close reading and pulling quotes on a single topic as they go through the novel. I’m really proud of how far they’ve come with this skill. I’m also deeply relieved that I’ve got this unit TURNKEY for after break. Check it out on TpT if you’re also teaching Gatsby and needing a quality unit that you don’t have to prep! Check out the sample on TpT to get a feel for it. It may be able to save you some time/stress. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/…/E2E-Great-Gatsby…
To all my fellow teachers…NINE MORE WEEKS.
