**Welcome to the Teacher's Page! As an educator, you may be wondering which educational standards this lesson covers, how best to implement this WebQuest into your own classroom, and more.**

**First, this WebQuest meets at least three of the [|Pennsylvania Department of Education's Standards] for Grade 11 Reading, Writing, Speaking, and Listening. These standards are outlined below:**

**Standard - 1.2.11.B:** Distinguish among facts and opinions, evidence, and inference across a variety of texts by using complete and accurate information, coherent arguments and points of view. // This webquest meets this PA Standard in a variety of ways. The main way it illustrates success in this area is it forces students to decipher facts and opinions across different types of media (i.e. news article, podcast) etc. Students will have to take into consieration coherent arguments, point of view, and much more. // //This webquest meets this PA Standard when it asks students to make a value judgement in the characters of Jay Gatsby and Daisy. Students are asked to portray that judgement in the production of an obituary, either written article or broadcasted podcast. Students will utilize facts and opinions and decide what is important to create a legitimate piece of news. Making something newsworthy does not always mean relaying only facts. Often times news stations embellish events to grasp the viewer attention. Students will have to take all of this into consideration when formulating an argument about the character.//
