It’s the spring of 1922 in New York City, a decadent playground of shifting morals, glittering jazz, bootleg empires and skyrocketing stocks. Chasing the American Dream, would-be writer Nick Carraway (Golden Globe nominee Tobey Maguire) arrives from the Midwest only to land next door to Jay Gatsby (three-time Oscar nominee Leonardo DiCaprio), a mysterious millionaire whose estate overflows with endless parties. As Nick’s beautiful cousin Daisy (Oscar nominee Carey Mulligan) and her blue-blooded husband Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton) fall into Gatsby’s orbit, Nick bears witness to a tragedy of impossible love and incorruptible dreams. Fitzgerald’s timeless epic, the Great Gatsby mirrors the struggles of modern times in a dazzling visual journey from the mind of Baz Luhrmann, director of the Oscar winning Moulin Rouge.

How the Lesson Works:
★ This lesson is made up of six activities that will allow your students to explore the topic

★ The next part of the activity provides students with five activities to choose from:
Activity 1 - Jigsaw Puzzle with Supplemental Question
Activity 2 - Writing Prompt
Activity 3 - Biography Creation and Research
Activity 4 - Vocabulary Matchup
Activity 5 - Daily Life in the Renaissance
★ After assigning the activity, just tell your students how many activities you would like them to complete.
★ This activity can be completed by individual students or by teams of students with one Google Slides document.
★Each activity should take students about ten to fifteen minutes to complete. The length of the entire lesson will be determined by the number of activities assigned.
★ Many of the activities involve writing opinions rather than facts, so there is not always necessarily a correct or incorrect answer.
