The Common Core State Standards initiated major changes for
language arts teachers, particularly the emphasis on "informational
text." Language arts teachers were asked to shift attention toward
informational texts without taking away from the teaching of
literature. Teachers, however, need to incorporate nonfiction in
ways that enhance rather than take away from their teaching of
literature. The Using Informational Text series is designed to
help. In this fourth volume (Volume 1: Using Informational Text to
Teach To Kill a Mockingbird; Volume 2: Using Informational Text to
Teach A Raisin in the Sun; Volume 3: Connecting Across Disciplines:
Collaborating with Informational Text), we offer challenging and
engaging readings to enhance your teaching of Gatsby. Texts from a
wide range of genres (a TED Talk, federal legislation, economic
policy material, newspaper articles, and 1920s political writing)
and on a variety of topics (income inequality, nativism and
immigration, anti-Semitism, the relationship between wealth and
cheating, the Black Sox scandal and newspaper coverage, and
prohibition) help students answer essential questions about F.
Scott Fitzgerald's novel. Each informational text is part of a
student-friendly unit, with media links, reading strategies,
vocabulary, discussion, and writing activities, and out-of-the-box
class activities.
