Collingham’s A Level English students attended a Great Gatsby Lecture Day in London held by Sovereign Education. Their Programmes are carefully designed to help and inspire teachers and students, and to improve examination performance. It was a fantastic opportunity to delve deeper into the works of Fitzgerald with speakers from all areas of education including academics, teachers and advisers.
The day included four speakers who covered:
- Fitzgerald and the 1920’s: The Great Gatsby as a Social critique
- The role of Nick Carraway as an unreliable narrator
- The Great Gatsby as a tragedy of ambition
- The presentation of women in The Great Gatsby
Our day was packed full with helpful information. It was great to hear from a range of people who had differing subject matters and opinions to what the students had already covered in their classes.
