A Word About Timing:
The Great Gatsby Escape Room resource has wide appeal and placement in curricula, so it’s up to you how long to spend on the activity. With 9th graders in a regular class, I’d plan on 75 minutes.

I’ve included some options for having your students pre-read the articles or splitting the activity over two or three days. There is a lot of reading in this Great Gatsby Escape Room, so it really depends on what fits your classroom.

As with any Escape Room activity, I recommend that you play through it on your own first before presenting it to your students.

“SO BRILLIANT! When it comes to learning about history in English class to set up a The Great Gatsby, look no further than this resource and Harlem Renaissance Escape Room. I used both Escape rooms to set the foundation of the novel, and these tools do an AMAZING job. They’re fun and easy glimpses into the life of the Roaring Twenties. I especially appreciate that these resources don’t just focus on the glitz and glam of the 1920s but also focus on the hardships and realities.”
