      About This Lesson

      In this two-day lesson, which will take 180 minutes, students will explore the concept of peaceful conflict resolution. In F. Scott Fitzgerald's “The Baby Party,” women encourage their husbands to physically fight. Students will write an alternate ending to the story so that the women promote a peaceful resolution to conflict. Teaching the story will also be a useful introduction to the Jazz Age ideas and the work of Fitzgerald before reading The Great Gatsby.  The lesson is aligned to the Common Core Standards for ELA and to the Ohio State Content Standards for ELA.
