I remember reading F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, The Great Gatsby for the first time as a teenager. The Roaring 20s!! The drama! The love! The betrayal! The timeless tell of the faults within humans, society, and the eternal hope for a better tomorrow! My favorite part of teaching American Literature is sharing this classic with my students. We get lost in the vivid imagery Fitzgerald creates. We spend days directing the despicable characters that he crafted as the elite and beautiful young things of the 1920s. We love The Great Gatsby! Just like the famous Jay Gatsby himself, I consider myself a modern (wo)man captivated by the sparkling, bright things of today; yet, yearn for the timeless, priceless gems of the past. And the newest trend in teaching reading is graphic novels. As explained by master educator and author Tracy Edmunds, "Graphic texts are complex, effective teaching tools because they require readers not only to passively receive information, but to interact with both text and images to construct meaning, and that is the key to magic. Words and pictures work together!" You see, Old Sport, I hope to find that same magic by partnering a graphic novel with the classic novel for a rich, enduring learning experience in our own roaring 20s!
