Hi Everyone,
Here is your work for today.
1. Complete the following journal prompt:
Reread pages 38-39 in Catcher, in which Holden describes Allie's baseball mitt and uses this as a way of telling us about Allie and his death.
Make a note of anything you notice about Holden's writing/thinking style in this passage. What do you notice about his language, sentence length, the way he tells the story, describes Allie, etc.
In your journal, write about an object that is of great significance to you.
2. At your tables, share your points for discussion that you brought in. Spend about fifteen minutes discussing these points.
3. At your tables, make a list of any/all observations that you have about literary and writing strategies that you have noticed in Holden's speech and thoughts. (ex: flashback, direct language, etc.)
4. For Thursday, read chapters 8 and 9. Identify one of the writing or literary strategies from your list in one of these chapters. Write a paragraph in which you explain the effect of this strategy. Bring in 3 more points for discussion from these chapters.
5. You may also work on vocabulary lesson 13 A and B, which is due on Wednesday.
