FAQs

What does The Great Gatsby Chapters 6–7 worksheet help students understand?

This worksheet uses 11 multiple-choice questions to assess comprehension of Gatsby’s background, including his real name, North Dakota birthplace, mentorship by Dan Cody, and lost inheritance. It also asks students to connect his demand that Daisy deny loving Tom with the Plaza Hotel confrontation, Myrtle’s death, and Gatsby’s final vigil outside the Buchanan house.

How can I use this worksheet to teach Chapters 6–7 of The Great Gatsby?

Use the multiple-choice items after reading to move from Gatsby’s past to the conflict in the present: discuss how James Gatz’s history and Dan Cody’s influence shape his constructed identity before reviewing the confrontation with Daisy. After students answer, ask them to cite details from the chapters that support Gatsby’s expectations of Daisy and explain how the car crash changes the situation.

What mistakes should I watch for on this Great Gatsby Chapters 6–7 worksheet?

Students may confuse Gatsby’s real name, James Gatz, with Jay Gatsby, or misidentify Dan Cody as his mentor. They may also mix up what Gatsby wants Daisy to admit with what he wants her to tell Tom, confuse Daisy as the driver who kills Myrtle with Tom’s later reaction, or overlook that Gatsby is standing outside the Buchanan house at the end.
