The juniors wrapped up their unit on The Great Gatsby today by watching the film version and enjoying all of the appetizers and drinks they brought in! Mrs. Hubbell was truly impressed by the creativeness in food/drink choice. For example, the slushies were representative of Gatsby’s luxurious ice sculptures, and their color added to the symbolism of “the green light!”
