3 Literature Circles For our study of The Great Gatsby, we will be using literature circles as a tool for learning. Literature circles are designed to provide small group discussion time about the novel as you are reading the novel. It is an opportunity for you to discuss issues, ideas, and questions that you may have about the section of the novel you have read. As well, the notes and ideas exchanged serve as a complete set of study notes for the novel (along with some input from me), and will prepare you for your quizzes, unit test, multimedia presentations, and exam. You must be accountable for the time that you spend with your group at your Literature Circle Meeting and the material that you are required to cover. For each meeting, you are expected to: Read the assigned sections Contribute to all discussions Complete the assigned role for each meeting Participate respectfully You will be assessed according to: The quality of your contributions to the literature circle meeting The extent to which you keep up with your responsibilities to your group The quality of your ideas The quality of your group s discussions You will meet five times to discuss the novel The Great Gatsby. You will be expected to complete each of the following roles throughout our study of the novel. Meeting dates will be supplemented by input lessons and activities. I will also use the content of your meetings to guide me in my lesson preparation, as well as help provide contextual information to aid your study. I am looking forward to this opportunity and hope that your understanding of the novel and literature as a whole will develop. Be brave and step outside the box into a new arena of learning. 3
4 Literature Circle Roles Role Description Sample Questions to Consider When Completing Literary Luminary Big Connector You are also expected to highlight examples of literary devices and record both their uses and effectiveness. Finally, you will be asked to look up any allusions or references in the graphic novel you read and explain your understanding of them. Connecting to prior knowledge and experience to reading deepens comprehension and understanding. You will be looking for and recording connections that you can make to the graphic novel you have chosen. Basically, there are four types of connections that you can make: A. Text to text - find a connection between the text that you are reading and something that you have read or watched elsewhere B. Text to the world - find connections between the text that you are reading and bigger issues or events in the world C. Text to self - find a connection between the text that you are reading and your personal experience D. Text within text - find a connection between the section of the text that you are reading and another section of the same text. What makes the writing in this section so effective? (literary devices) How is the symbolism necessary to the story as a whole? What references are made to situations outside of the original story? What connections can you make to current events in your community? What other people or places could you compare this story to? What other books or stories might you compare this one to? What other characters or authors might you compare this to? How does the theme(s) represented connect to other stories? Previous sections? Media texts? What to Complete At least three (3) examples of literary devices, including their use (i.e., the sentence it appears in) At least two (2) allusions or references, with explanations All four (4) connections must be made, written in separate sentences, with headings for each type of connection A theme statement You are also expected to discuss theme(s) as you make connections. Peacemaker Charley Grand Questioner You are being asked to identify and examine the different types of conflict at play in the graphic novel. Remember to consider all seven of the varieties of conflict (person vs. person, person vs. society, person vs. self, person vs. nature, etc.). Examine the reason behind each conflict, and provide a resolution to each conflict. You are expected to track the characters and their development throughout the story. You will keep a list of the character traits demonstrated within the story, with examples and any new characters that are introduced. It is important that you include physical, mental, moral, and emotional characteristics. Your job is to record any questions that you have about reading this particular short story. You want to record the questions that were circling in your brain as you read the story, and any questions that you may have about what is yet to come. What examples of conflict are at play in the graphic novel? How does one conflict affect another? What solutions can be offered to the characters? Are any forms of conflict more prevalent? What does this tell us about the graphic novel as a whole? What do we know about the characters? What new characters have we met in this section? How do we learn about the characters? Are any character traits from earlier sections developed further in this section? If so, how? Why did the author make a particular choice? What did the text make you think about? What do you think this story was about? What was the most important change in this story and why? How might other people (of different backgrounds) think about this story? At least three (3) types of conflict Reason behind each conflict found Resolution to each conflict found At least three (3) character traits for each character Identify what type of character (protagonist, antagonist, flat, round, dynamic, static) State how/why character develops. At least six (6) higher-order questions (questions that do no elicit a one-word or short response; that require an explanation) An answer to each of the questions devised 4

6 Research Multimedia Presentation You will work in a group of three, on one of the following projects listed below. Choose your partners wisely. This assignment will be presented orally to the class. This is an opportunity for you to amaze us with your media skills and creativity as well as your analyses. Presentations are to be minutes. You must include a Works Cited page with your rubric prior to presenting. Decline of the American Dream (in 1920s) This period in American history is a time of unprecedented wealth, with people flaunting their material excess with conspicuous consumption. Despite the economic prosperity, one can see the decline, corruption, and perversion of the American Dream, in regards to social and moral values. How does this manifest itself in the novel? Spirit of the 1920s prepare a show in which various aspects of the 1920s are presented to the class. Brainstorm within your group for ideas and categories (e.g., one category could be fashion leading to an investigation and presentation of the Flappers). Use music, visuals, and/or costumes in your presentation. Use the talents of your group, including your painters and musicians for a live performance. Role of Symbols Assign each member of your group one or more of the following symbols in the novel to investigate: the green light on Daisy s dock, the eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg, the valley of ashes, Gatsby s parties, East Egg, West Egg. Research the meaning of each of these symbols. What significance do they bear in relation to the text, and to American society in the 1920s? How is the symbol s meaning relevant to today s society? Weather In literature, weather can often match or represent the atmosphere of the story. This can be seen in Shakespeare s works as well. What does the weather throughout the novel suggest about certain occurrences, encounters, relationships, people, or places? Excess, Social Values, & Social Class Think about the American dream, where anyone, regardless of social class, has the potential to make a fortune. Consider the quest for wealth, extravagant parties, material excess. There is no question that people are often judged by their appearance and social status, among other superficial criteria. How are these judgements fair and unfair, true and untrue? How does conspicuous consumption, living extravagantly, materialism, and prestige of social status affect social values individually and collectively? How do these facets of excess affect the social strata, and who (i.e., which social stratum) is most impacted, and in what ways? Hollowness of the Upper Class American families, who come from old money, exhibit an aristocratic disdain for the newly rich. Why is this? Is it justified? Does this take place today, and in what forms? What does this say about the perception of people, their realness, and the fabric of society? Does the hollowness of the upper class damage the the identity of people, their realness, and/or the fabric of society? Geography Think about the various settings of the novel. Many of them exemplify aspects of the American 1920s depicted by Fitzgerald. What do these settings represent? Are there dichotomies present in this depiction that can be compared to anything today? Each group member will represent a setting from the novel. Each setting argues to prove that it is the most important representation. 6
