The Great Gatsby Project
Global Awareness 21st Century Skill
Most of our English portion of Humanities was spent reading a classic book called the Great Gatsby. This book took place during the early 1900's and took place in New York. The reason we were reading this is because we were currently at about World War I in the American history timeline. The book tied in with what was at the time "The Great War" and also the economic growth within the 20's.
Our project was based around this book, and that's why I think it was an example of Global Awareness. We learned what it was like during those times, and how the world is different today.
After all our reading, our assignment was to recreate a setting within the book. So my partner and I decided to recreate Gatsby's mansion in Minecraft.
We honestly put a lot of effort in it and it turned out really well. This made the project not only about Global Awareness, but about creativity as well.
