conference

You will all want to be at the Hotel Monteleone Friday afternoon in order to register before the Opening Reception at 5 PM. The Banquet and evening's presentation by Students at the Center of New Orleans begins at 6:30 PM.

You will want to pick up your personal conference packets at the Registration Desk in the Registration Lobby outside of the Queen Anne Ballroom on Mezzanine Level A before dinner. Your checks will be returned to you in your packets. Please remember to bring your confirmation letters I've sent all of you.

As a "Lagniappe" as they say in New Orleans (a little something extra) I thought that you would appreciate having our beautifully crafted list of recommended restaurants in advance so you can make plans for your meals before and after the conference. Friday dinner, and Saturday Breakfast and Lunch are included with the conference.

These restaurants have been recommended by New Orleanians locals "in the know", and are all wonderful places, many within walking distance of the conference hotel in the French Quarter.

We are excited that about 200 of you are joining us for this exciting conference.

Warm regards on behalf of the Reading Conference Team,

Thank you for registering for The National Reading Initiative’s 2010 Conference on Reading entitled “What’s Next: Possibilities for Literacy and Content Area Learning”. We look forward to welcoming you to New Orleans’s historic French Quarter and the Monteleone Hotel, where we will examine the intersections of interesting threads of work related to adolescent literacy and content area learning which have surfaced from the ongoing programs funded by a grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York.

We have received your deposit check of $150. Conference registration is free, so we will return your deposit check when you check in at the conference registration table at the Hotel Monteleone located in the Registration lobby on the Mezzanine A level of the hotel. There you will receive your conference packet with a nametag. You will be able to check in all day Friday.

NOTE: Please remember that any registrant who does not attend the conference will forfeit her or his deposit.

The conference will begin at 5 PM Friday, March 5th with an opening reception, followed by a banquet at 6:30 PM in the Queen Anne Ballroom, just off the Registration lobby on the Mezzanine A level. Saturday morning a continental breakfast will be served in the Queen Anne Ballroom beginning at 7:30 AM followed by the keynote speech at 9 AM.

There will a first round of morning sessions, lunch in the Queen Anne Ballroom from 12 Noon to 1:15 followed by 2 afternoon sessions.. The conference will end at 5:30 PM Saturday afternoon, March 6th. Your food during the conference is free. Dinner Saturday night will be on your own. We will have a list of great New Orleans’s restaurants available when you arrive at the conference

Pre-Conference Opportunity – Friday, March 5th

The Greater New Orleans Writing Project is happy to host a special pre-conference event on Friday, March 5 from 11:00 am – 3:00 pm. Come “pass a good time,” eat some marvelous New Orleans food, and learn about ways to use food as a nourishing subject for your student writers, while you experience the unique culinary culture of New Orleans. Some of the many things you will learn include:

   * The difference between Cajun and Creole.
   * How the po-boy sandwich got its name from a labor strike
   * Why okra is so prevalent in Southern cooking
   * How the sugar and rice industries shaped Louisiana and the Carolinas
   * Why New Orleanians don’t eat cornbread, but the rest of the Louisiana does

This event will be hosted at the Southern Food and Beverage Museum, which is a very short cab ride or an enjoyable 15 -20 minute walk from the host Monteleone Hotel in the historic French Quarter.

Registration for this event is separate from conference registration, and is limited to the first 40 participants. To register, please contact Ken Rayes, the Director of the Greater New Orleans Writing Project at krayes@uno.edu, or by phone at 504-280-7323. Cost is $45.00 per person which includes food and drink samples (payment will be by check only). You will be responsible for your transportation to and from this event. Come join us as we share in our unique New Orleans food and culture.
