 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * Welcome to English! We will be reading //The Great Gatsby// and doing a series of tasks to show your learning. This unit comprises three desired understandings that are considered in three thoughtful questions. Students are expected to read //The Great Gatsby// and through a predetermined assessment show that they understand the material. Students will be able to connect their learning to a real-world situation by taking part in a filmmaking contest, by taking on a predetermined role and audience. Students should be able to understand that: complex characters in //The Great Gatsby// develop, interact, and advance, that there is more than one theme in //The Great Gatsby// and they must be able to analyze the theme's development//,// and lastly that there is evidence that supports their inferences in //The Great Gatsby.// They will present their project in a Type II product to their intended audience, which will be taken on by fellow students. After this unit students will be able to cite strong textual evidence to support their themes/central ideas. They will be able to analyze in detail their theme's development and provide a summary of the text. Lastly, they will be able to analyze complex characters, how they develop, interact, and advance over the course of the text. ||
