One of the novels that some of our Higher English classes study is 'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald and students are encouraged to write short mock newspaper / magazine articles relating to issues within the text. This helps the authours and their peers to contextualise the various storylines woven throughout the book. Illustrated below are some examples of how the students have interpreted various themes and as can be seen quite clearly, the information is visual, informative, fun and acts as a helpful aide memoire throughout the academic year.
