Jay Gatsby in YA - Classics and Contemporary Literature Circles

All book clubs read the same anchor texts: The Great Gatsby (Fitzgerald), A Sky Painted Gold (Wood), and We Were Liars (Lockhart). However, each group will focus on a specific aspect of the texts and be responsible for a particular follow-up assignment. All students will participate in a full-class seminar at the conclusion of the unit.
