Summary: This will be brief because I have to finish lesson plans . .
Comment: Good stuff, this is! Vocabulary, study questions, unit tests- nothing you haven't already seen. It is my first year teaching Gatsby and between classroom management, grading papers and getting caught up with the book (and material for other classes) I am exhausted.
This pack gives me the time to focus on how I will present the material and is dry enough that it let's me modify it to my students' needs.
A good skeleton unit.

Summary: A Teacher's Greatest Helper
Comment: Wow! This was a great resource to use when teaching a novel. I had not taught The Great Gatsby before and really wanted to have my students "work with" this novel. It provided a great resource for vocabulary exercises and study guide questions. It also provided a plethera of quiz and test questions to use. As another teacher-reviewer indicated, she felt guilty at first of using premade materials. I, on the other hand, believe that my role as a teacher is demanding enough, without having to spend hours creating my teaching materials. I do create my own original activites and adapt materials to fit appropriately, but cherish the teaching materials that I can choose from to use. I am teaching a new grade level next year with new novels, and I am already planning my order for more LitPlan titles. Thank you for this wonderful resource!!

Summary: Feeling Overwhelmed By Paperwork and Planning?
Comment: Okay, I'll confess that I felt guilty when I ordered this CD-ROM. It kind of seemed like the equivalent of serving your kids TV dinners instead of a fresh cooked meal, but I've gotten over it.
These lesson plans aren't a substitute for homemade, but they certainly do foot the bill more than adequetly. The activities are comprehensive and thoughtful, though sometimes a little dry.
I'm planning on ordering more to have on hand for emergencies. Also, the study questions and vocabulary lists are a Godsend. I hate writing study questions... so boring, yet necessary. The study questions included here helped my students grasp the novel and made my life a bit easier.
On the down side the files are in PDF format so if you want to be able to _edit_ the handouts, you need Adobe Acrobat. (Printing handouts "as is" doesn't require anthing fancy and you can cut and paste the old fashioned way.)
Sure if we worked 15 hour days every day, we could constantly create stimulating new materials for each day, but we'd burn out. All told, if you are a new teacher and can afford to buy this CD, I say go for it. It was well worth it for me.
