Just A Reminder:
Both Bands MUST complete the reading of The Catcher in the Rye prior to returning to school. You will receive a QUIZ over Chapters 19-26 when you return to school after the break. Please be advised that you will NOT receive a "list" of suggested responses-I have discovered that this has only provided assistance- for those who have not done the reading. Dear Parents: Imagine that there are several students who have not read this text-perhaps, your child is one of them who does not complete the readings and who does not participate in the small group activities in response to these readings.
Also, since we will only meet for two class sessions during the week of 1 April, you will not be administered a Root Word Quiz.

Kings in the Back Row: Meaning through Structure-A Reading of Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye
"I wonder why Diedrich posted this link to some essay about the text we are reading? He will probably give us specific information about what he wants us to do with it-other than to just engage in a close reading-I bet we will have to submit a written response/reaction... For fun, I am going to read it now and annotate it as I read so I will be prepared for the assignment."

Schedule for Week of 18 March
A Reminder: CITR "short story assignment" in the form of a voice mail (no more than 600 words) must be uploaded to turnitin by 0800 hours Tuesday morning. As you enter the classroom, you must hand to me a "hard-copy" of the assignment-Do NOT ask to use the printer in the back of the classroom. (Must be in a format similar to Sorry for Your Loss as previously indicated-see below for a link that will take you to the story distributed in class-just in-case you misplaced your copy.)
Recall what was "brainstormed" in class to generate ideas for your approach in completing this assignment-You are leaving a "voice mail message" for Holden as "yourself" or as one of the individuals Holden has mentioned (mother, father, D.B. "Allie", Jane, etc). This should not be a concern for those who took notes on what was generated in class.
Root Word Quiz: Next 15 meaningful word parts-C-Band on Wednesday/F-Band on Thursday.
Monday, 18 March: Complete group activity for Chapters 9-14. All groups must review how they have responded to the questions-not all groups have "adequately" responded to the questions.
Tuesday, 19 March: CITR Quiz: Chapters 9-14-10 questions/must answer ALL 10 questions.
You must bring the text to class-you will not be permitted to join your group if you fail to do so. Amazingly, a student took my copy of the CITR that was on the teacher's desk and used it without asking permission to do so. Naturally, I became rather "disturbed" when I noticed it missing shortly after the class began. Finally, near the end of the Band, my copy of the text reappeared on the teacher's desk. Hence, I was no longer "disturbed" but I was rather "annoyed" that "this someone" would "borrow" my copy of CITR without asking permission to do so! This someone only "smiled" when I discovered who committed this act.
NOTE: Since my "annotated" copy of the text would direct students to specific answers for the questions asked on your group activity, this student and the rest of the group members will NOT receive credit for those questions!
