On January 18, 2015, The Great Gatsby collaborative event returned to the Lakeside High School Library Media Center.
Mrs. Misti Bell, LHS Library Media Specialist, is the author this blog entry!
“The party has begun.” –from The Great Gatsby
Once again the LHS Library Media Center teamed up with the
11th grade class to experience Gatsby. Previously, this event was held as a
culminating Common Core enrichment activity; however, this year the students
were in the process of reading the F. Scott Fitzgerald classic. Our goal for this collaboration was to bring
the 1920’s to our students, giving them the opportunity to experience the
tastes, sounds and images from the era.
The library was transformed into an extravagant party decked out in elegant
gold and black.
The learning stations remained the same; however, due to
student suggestions, we did extend the time for Dance the Charleston. Our learning stations consisted of: an Art
Deco Gallery, a Charlie Chaplin silent film, a Prohibition/Speakeasy video, a
Gatsby iPad game, Dance the Charleston, and the Garden Party. Once again, the students enjoyed learning and
dancing the Charleston and sampling the decadent foods prepared by Chartwell’s,
our food service company.

Many thanks to Jerrie Stanage, 11th grade English
teacher; Chartwell’s; our Lakeside admin team; our Lakeside School Board
members and our LHS Library Media staff for pulling off another successful
collaborative learning event!
