Today we began our next unit, The Catcher in the Rye, J.D. Salinger's very famous 1951 novel about teenage alienation and rebellion. To get ready to dive into this novel on Thursday and Friday, we began by discussing and recording your prior knowledge about the 1950s in America, followed by a video that gave you some historical and cultural background information regarding history and politics, youth culture, and pop culture. The rest of the period was spent reading a brief article about J.D. Salinger and the novel, and completing an exit slip. Click here to read the article.
