The Great Gatsby Modern Adaptation

Novels in Film: Adapt-a-Scene Final Project

Students will analyze a scene from a The Great Gatsby and rewrite it to adapt to modern society. They have done a character analysis based on class status and have decided on contemporary counterparts to the characters from Gatsby. They will then adapt the scene into a script and film their performance as if they are portraying the modern versions of their Gatsby character. Scenes will be chronological, and when finished, we will watch the films in order and create our own version of the novel.
