Block days this week were spent discussing chapters 18-20 and then completing an in-class group activity in which we created a life size character biography (also called a "humanoid") of Holden. Groups were assigned a specific body part which they had to create on large pieces of paper and fill with pictures, quotes, and words that relate figuratively or metaphorically to their specific body part (for example, the group with the heart had to think about what Holden holds in his heart, what breaks his heart, etc., the group with the arms/hands had to think about who or what he reaches for, what he holds, what he wants to hold...) Click on the links below for more details on the assignment. On Friday we will be discussing the assessment for this unit, which we will be working on next week. So, please finish the novel by Monday! Discussion Questions
