During the general membership meeting of the F. Scott Fitzgerald Society held in Baltimore in October of this year, I was asked to investigate the possibility of holding an all day teacher’s training workshop for secondary teachers at the 2010 National Council of Teachers of English convention to be held in Orlando November 18-23, 2010. What I am proposing to NCTE is an all day post-convention workshop focusing on the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald, including but not necessarily limited to, The Great Gatsby and related short stories. The proposal will specify that each presenter will detail a specific approach to teaching one or more Fitzgerald texts and provide hands-on activities for conference participants to carry across to their classrooms. The proposal will be under the CEE strand of NCTE, and if approved will provide professional development units to workshop participants. The F. Scott Fitzgerald Society will sponsor the session.
Members of the F. Scott Fitzgerald Society who wish to serve as a presenter for the all day workshop please notify me, Janice Byrne, via
