“This was such a great activity! I used it as an opening activity for our Gatsby unit in my dual-credit American Literature course. The students absolutely LOVED it! It took two full class periods, and I think the vocab was probably more time-consuming for them than I expected, but they were definitely engaged!”

“My students LOVED this activity. It got them moving and thinking and even grooving a little. For a challenge at the end, I encouraged my students to watch a beginning Charleston video and then learn the dance. This was a HUGE hit! I will definitely use this resource again!”
