Presentation transcript:

Today, we will be working in six groups (three categories), and then we will be sharing our work with the class. Please read about the different groups, and then sign up on the board for the group you want (a maximum of 9 kids per group): The Historians: These sleuths will be researching the timeline and setting of Catcher in the Rye. The Freedom Writers: These creative folks will write a few creative pieces to share with the class. The Prep School Kids: These elite specimens will be examining aspects of their “privileged lives.” Warm Up 3/13

I can collect information from reputable sources in order to build a background for a new text, write creatively to immerse myself in a new character’s circumstances, OR work with a group to identify the positives and negatives of an experience in a specific setting I can use the work my classmates and I compile as background information for reading The Catcher in the Rye. Learning Target

Today you will have 20 minutes to complete your tasks with your group mates. The work that you create must be completed using Google Docs, and must be shared with me so it can be displayed easily to the class. Since you’re sharing your work with your class, be sure that what you prepare is clear and readable for your classmates. See the next three slides for the specific assignments for each group. Today’s Group Work

This is an important group, as the information you compile serves as a historical and biographical basis for your class’s reading. Your group must find both information AND images on the following topics: Manhattan The 1950’s The life of JD Salinger Try to find the best, most well-rounded info for your class. Your group will need a minimum of SIX sources (two for each topic). The Historians

Imagine that Christmas vacation is a few days away Imagine that Christmas vacation is a few days away.  Instead of leaving your private boarding school for the standard two-week vacation, you will be leaving for good because you are failing every subject (except English), and have been kicked out.  It’s Saturday, and you have five days before you are expected home, at which time your parents will have received the news about your permanent expulsion.   Your assignment: Write a journal entry for each of the five days (Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday) that you’ll be on your own. These entries should be well-developed and include your thoughts about your current predicament, fears of what awaits you at home (especially as you get closer to Wednesday), and descriptions of how you are spending your four days. Consider where you’ll be spending your days and nights (your friends will be in school and your friends’ parents probably know your parents), and what you’ll do with the thousand dollars that you have to blow. Freedom as you know it will probably be lost as soon as you arrive home, so what will you do to make the most of these last four days? To prewrite/plan: talk to your group, assign each person a day, develop a start and end point/timeline for each person, and then each of you write independently. Let’s see how this comes together  Suggested schedule: plan for five minutes, write for ten, compile for five. The Freedom Writers

Your group must create a graphic organizer that shares each of your perspectives (indications of the positives and negatives) on the following elements of the prep school experience: Attending a prestigious prep school Staying at a boarding school, away from your family Attending a school where the student body is composed of only one gender (and mostly of one race: white) Attending on a scholarship Comparing the above (especially to the circumstances of likely classmates) Compile some images of famous prep schools, typical prep school attire, and any other image that your group deems relevant. You must have at least three (one of each). The Prep School Kids

Today’s Group Work Recap of work: Today you will have 20 minutes to complete your tasks with your group mates. The work that you create must be completed using Google Docs, and must be shared with me so it can be displayed easily to the class. Since you’re sharing your work with your class, be sure that what you prepare is clear and readable for your classmates. Pull up the slide for your group’s work using the class blog. Today’s Group Work

Sharing of Group Work!

In building context for the book we’ll begin reading tomorrow, what are the most important pieces of information that you learned today? Find at least one piece of information from each group, and explain each one (so, one topic sentence + a sentence for each group = four sentences minimum). Summation of Lesson

Homework See the blog for specific instructions, but: Review the Catcher in the Rye Unit Overview (found on Google Drive). Watch the two videos, and respond to the provided prompts. Be prepared for a quiz tomorrow on any material provided above! Work on your SRE! It’s due as a completed rough draft by our conference date  Homework
