How to use this The Great Gatsby Gallery Walk:
Examine primary sources featuring music, film, archived newspaper articles, photographs, and various book covers to explore the setting and historical context of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. This Pre-Reading activity will prompt students to make predictions about the plotline and themes of the novel.
F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby is a classic tale recounting the “Roaring 20s”. The novel is a fictional account of a love story between Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan, told from the narrative perspective of a partially-removed character, Nick Carraway. Fitzgerald's novel captures the materialism, excess, idealism, and economic crisis of 1920s America.
This pre-reading activity includes hyperlinks to archived newspaper articles, musical numbers, and film clips. The gallery walk requires two media stations with internet access; the remaining materials for the other three stations can be printed. If media stations are not available, the gallery can also be adapted into a whole-class lesson.
This pre-reading activity also includes worksheets to guide students through each learning station in the gallery walk. These worksheets feature inquiry-based questions to prompt students to make predictions about the text, interpret aspects of the culture and lifestyle of the 1920s, and analyze symbols in various book covers for The Great Gatsby.
An answer key has been provided to consolidate the learning station that features photographs.
