Before you start reading a book, it's always a good idea to
explore it. Do you know the
names of the different
parts?
Watch this
presentation to find out.
The
illustration on the
front cover should enable you to
predict what kind of book you are about to read. Different editions of the same book will have different illustrations.
The
Voicethread below includes
four different
covers of
The Great Gatsby (clicking on the picture will enlarge the image).
This blurb can be found in one edition:
"The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald's third book, stands as the supreme achievement of his career. This exemplary novel of the Jazz Age has been acclaimed by generations of readers. The story of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan, of lavish parties on Long Island at a time when The New York Times noted "gin was the national drink and sex the national obsession," it is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s.
The Great Gatsby is one of the great classics of twentieth-century literature."
Look at the images,
read the blurb and then
record your comment:
what do you think the novel will be about? (Note: if you have already read the novel, tell us what the main differences among the covers are in your view) You can also see the covers in greater detail below.
