Catcher chapters 9-10 YELLOW ONLY

DO NOW:  Take the reading quiz. When done, please read Catcher in the Rye silently.

LEARNING TARGET: I will understand Holden’s struggles with adolescence.

LOOK FORS: I will know that I have hit the learning target when:
  • I can relate some of Holden’s actions and behaviors with our notes on adolescent development.
  • I can identify which areas of Holden’s behavior seems developmentally appropriate, and which ones are not.
  • I can make an inference about Holden’s development.

AGENDA:
  1. DO NOW: Reading quiz (10 min) – read silently when done
  2. Group discussion:
    • New Groups HERE
    • Choose roles for today (Fearless Leader, TimeKeeper, Secretary)
    • Catcher Quotation Discussion (document HERE) - post a comment on each quotation from last night’s reading. (10 minutes total.  Groups respond to BOTH prompts)
    • Secretary create a new Google Doc called “Catcher Journal Week 2” and share with group). There will be a total of FIVE quotes (15-20 minutes)
      • Adolescence: What evidence do we have that shows that Holden is in the adolescent stage of development? Find a quote for each of the following stages:
      • Cognitive development:
        • Reasoning (thinking about thinking; spotting problems with the thinking of adults/society)
        • Morality (right vs. wrong; controlling impulses)
      • Social development:
        • Identity (who am I? who do I want to be?)
        • Intimacy (close relationships w/ peers)
        • Autonomy from parents
  3. Begin reading Chapter 11 if time allows

HW: Please read chapters 11-12; post to “Catcher Quotation Discussion” according to the schedule.
