Written By - Glenda Wright - Academic Specialist SSHS After researching the 1920's, reading F. Scott Fitzgerald's well-loved novel, The Great Gatsby, and constructing an analysis PowerPoint project over the novel, English III students enjoyed attending their own Gatsby party. The six-week unit was celebrated in grand style with students donning 1920's style apparel while watching clips from the 2013 released movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio. The students enjoyed critiquing and discussing the different interpretations noted between the film and literary versions of this masterpiece.

Research shows that the most reliable predictor of school success is being read to at home during their early childhood years. It also shows that reading to children from an early age can help to close vocabulary gaps, as well as, prepare them to enter kindergarten with the school readiness skills they’ll need to succeed; equally important, research shows that sharing books with children, can promote a lifelong love of books and reading.
