My Project
Many teachers believe The Great Gatsby is the great American novel (I would put it in my top ten). When students hear this, they assume it's boring! Many never jump that hurdle and miss out on a story that can change the way one sees the world!
I want to give my students a graphic view of The Great Gatsby!
I want to order a class set of the graphic novel version of Fitzgerald's masterpiece!
I would be so grateful to any donors that would help me get 20 copies of this graphic novel for my classroom so the next few years of exposing my students to this novel will be exciting!
More than a third of students from low‑income households
