II. Assessment
Pre-assessmentCharacter description matching activity with
characters from both The Great Gatsby and The Beginning of
Everything. Students will need to know the character traits and
literary descriptions. Students who are unfamiliar with the texts
be supported with character outlines and online resources.
Post-assessment Project-based group presentation with an
individual informative text with their contributions. Students will
work together to create a visual representation of their character
at their own choosing while presenting their information to the
class.
III. Planning
The lesson will begin several days of discussions about the
references and correlations to The Great Gatsby in the text The
Beginning of Everything. The students will then look at
similarities and differences in characters and how they face
adversity. Students will be put in teacher planned groups to
ensure varying levels of learners for additional support for
students needing assistance. Students will be responsible for
delegating jobs. Each group will have three people and three
areas of character analysis: Type of character with proof from the
story, character description, and discussion of characters role in
the conflict of the story. They will choose one topic and write
their informative text. The students will also decide how they
want to visually represent their character.
IV. Engaging the Learner
Students will begin with a character analysis of a beloved
childrens book character, The Big Bad Wolf. Students will work in
a whole group to create elements of each area of informative
writing for The Big Bad Wolf, working together with scaffolding
and sentences starters as needed. Once this is complete,
