HarrisD says, "As a party planner no constraints on who to invite"

RoddL says, "Lots of good guidance re: collaboration on the part of
group members..."

BernieD says, "Well... they have to live in the 1920s. Coming up with
names requires some relevant learning."

PhilipAB says, "I'm looking at the caterer task, and don't see any sites
that might help me put a cost on the vittles."

HarrisD says, "True but each of the roles seem open ended"

BernieD says, "In this case, given Gatsby's deep pockets, that's
probably OK."

RoddL asks, "Does the class get to have a real party in the end?"

DonnaMH asks, "I was wondering that...would they have to figure it out
in 1920's money, or modern cash?"

BernieD says, "That would add an interesting math/economics twist."

RoddL exclaims, "Flex in the Canadian dollar or Euro!"

PhilipAB says, "The teacher would doubtless have to make up long lists
of costs for 1920s fare."

BernieD says, "I just think this is a very clever way to get kids into
the book and the era. Everyone loves a party."
