Scott Fitzgerald

“Show me a hero,” Scott Fitzgerald once said, “and I’ll write you a tragedy.” And while Fitzgerald’s life was as heroic as any he ever created for a character, it was also the most tragic literary life since that of Edgar Allan Poe. This unit provides a complete biography of that Laureate of the Jazz Age, and examines the haunting themes of his American classics. The DVD includes a printable teacher guide. 22 minutes Grades 6-12.
