A tea party in Wonderland? An East Egg brunch with Gatsby, Daisy, Tom, and Nick? Breakfast with Miss Havisham, Lady Macbeth, and Abigail Williams? Or dinner with Andre, Hamlet, and Randle Patrick McMurphy? Class members select a favorite book or theme, dress up as a character, and get together for refreshments and pithy conversation. Groups create the invitation, decide on the menu, decorate the room, and outline a script. The packet includes suggestions and links to resources. A great way to review a novel, a course, or prepare for the AP literature exam.
