=G.R.A.S.P.S= = = ( Feel free to copy and paste what you have on your wiki page for Dr. Grace for the RASPS portion. For the G--Goal, I need to know the academic goal (the big understanding(s) that you're going for) and the major facet/skill/product.

Your task is to create a video blog documenting a your museum box character’s day from __The Great Gatsby__ that explains a scene from the book through the eyes of someone other than Nick. (Students will understand that there is a difference between first person and third person narration and that the point of view effects a reader’s interpretation of a text by creating a video blog application to becomes a contestant on The Real World: West Egg and present their video to the producers to convince them they will be a great contestant) Y ou are a character from __The Great Gatsby__ who is upset that everyone always listens to Nick’s side of the story, and you want to set them straight! You have realized that if you tell your story well enough, you can submit it and become a contestant on The Real World: West Egg Something unusual or of great importance has happened to you! After dealing with the situation, you want to run right home and video blog about the events of the day. You want to tell your side of the story; you don’t want to let Nick be the only one who tells what happens, he might not tell the story right!

 * Standards and Criteria:**

=Introduction= The Great Gatsby is a prime example of the lack of morals that prevailed in the 1920s. A lot of people's lives still revolve around money, affairs, and parties accompanied by a lack of morals. The Real World television show often has contestants that are quite the characters and seem to have the same values as the people who visit Gatsby's parties. What would happen if the characters from Gatsby ended up on The Real World!? =Task=

You are a character from __The Great Gatsby__ who is sick and tired of everyone listening to Nick's side of the story. You have decided to start a video blog to try to get onto The Real World: West Egg and let them know what happened through your eyes. You see something unusual or of great importance happen, it may have even happened to you! After dealing with the situation, your first instinct is to run home and video blog about it. But by the time you get home, Nick has already told everyone what happened. You just want to explain what happened as your saw it. You will present your video blog to the producers of The Real World and explain your rationale for your opinions and why you see the situation as you do, and how this makes you a good contestant for their show. But a word of advice: be careful about what you say about your fellow characters; you never know who may be following your posts!

=Conclusion= Internal and external conflicts of all people affect how they act, what they think, and how they react to the things that go on around them. The way people act often has an impact on the big picture and other people's lives. The Real World producers were impressed with the submissions for their West Egg show. Some of the contestant's lives and drama seemed almost unreal to them. But that's exactly what they're going for: unbelievable, almost fictitious.
