YouTube Gatsby

Here are some YouTube videos on The Great Gatsby. Perhaps we could comment on them as multimodality is a great point of emphasis in today's ELA classroom, not to mention an essential theme in our graduate classes.

Gatsby World of Warcraft style. This is apropos given our discussion on graphic novels this semester.

Student response project on Gatsby and the theme of "the American Dream."

Another student project on Gatsby. This is in the form of a movie trailer.

I liked the War Craft video! It was a really creative way to incorporate an outside interest with a text in the classroom! Because I am only familiar with the game in name, this is an idea that I would have been unable to imagine myself. It's really creative and fun to watch.
