Final Project!

marykategorham

Hi everyone! As we end this semester, my partner Kaitlynn Castro and I have finished our project on The Great Gatsby. Here, we are talking about how Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences connect with the story as well as the movie. We have provided some clip examples that can also be found in the book. The reason for this, is because we thought it would make a lot more sense to students if they had access to how the characters were feeling and what they were doing in the moment. It is true that books can express emotion more than movies can. … Continue reading Final Project!

Two of the literary time periods I am most interested in are the modern period and the postmodern period. Some of my favorite books were written during these time periods, such as the Great Gatsby and To Kill a Mockingbird. I love these specific literary time periods because the history going on in the United States at the time really intrigues me. For example, I love learning about the roaring twenties and this is why I would love to teach about the Great Gatsby and the roaring twenties. The Great Gatsby talks about the Americans Dream and how different people … Continue reading Modern Period
