What educators are saying
This mini-unit effectively introduced my students to the concept of the American Dream before we read OMAM and Gatsby. Thank you :)
This has been a great addition to our Great Gatsby unit! It helps students make modern-day connections to a work/time that seems so far removed from their own world/experiences. Thank you for this!
