Honors American Lit students take on 1920s personas for Gatsby party

Students in Amanda Cutalo’s Honors American Literature partied like it was 1922 on the first day back from spring break! Students assumed roles based on character types in The Great Gatsby that would most likely attend a soiree at Gatsby’s mansion. After creating their written character profile as an admission ticket, they attended the party and interacted with one another in character, paying special attention to their character’s mannerisms and the details of their life experiences as someone from the 1920s. Since there were no assigned lines, they improvised the entire time. Watch the video of Ms. Cutalo leading students through some classic 1920s dances.
