Individual+Unit+Plan+(Final+Assessment)

FINAL PORT“PHONEY-O” At the end of the unit, you will hand in the following things in a 3 ring binder. After spending the unit getting to know Holden, it’s time to put everything together to show your relationship with Holden, and the book itself! You should have a 3 ring binder (2 inches should be fine). On the front, you will create your own cover for //The Catcher in the Rye//, as well as your own idea for a title; make sure your name is on the FRONT. It can be a drawing, or an image found online. You may even make it 3D if you like by gluing things on to it (buttons, string, fabrics, etc) if you wish. However, the picture must be a representation of //symbolism// from the novel. Here are some examples: a.) Holden’s red hunting hat b.) The ducks (at one point, Holden wonders where they go in winter) c.) The “F you” signs on the wall d.) Carousel horse e.) “Holden” After picking your image, you must include **one paragraph** **(5th requirement of binder)** on the inside cover of your binder explaining its significance in the novel. **Be creative!! **

The journals will be collected at the very end of the unit, so **make sure you are keeping up! ** After reading the assigned chapters, you will write 3 journal entrees per week (3 pages). These journal entries will help you later on, at the end of the unit. Your main focus should be on:

Formality should not be a main focus; your **personal opinions** are the main focus. This is an important assessment because it motivates you to keep up with readings, as well as focus on your own analysis of the book. During this process, you should slowing begin to develop your own opinion of Holden, and conclude what kind of person you think that he is. **Do you love or hate Holden? Show me //why<range type="comment" id="980329">! //**

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif;">Through the entire book, profanity and slang is a reoccurring thing, as well as misuse of grammar and punctuation. The way Holden speaks shapes him as a character; would the book have the same impact on the reader if the language was different? For this assignment, you must pick out a paragraph and/or exchange of dialogue between characters where the language has an impact. After picking your passage, rewrite it differently and compare the two. <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif;">a.)How would you change the language in //your// copy? Why? <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif;">b.) Why do you think Holden talks the way that does? Does he talk differently to adult figures, his sister, or his friends? Why? <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif;">c.) What are the impending factors that affect the way //you// speak? Do you speak differently to your mom than you would your friends? How? <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif;"><range type="comment" id="981924">d.) After picking your dialogue, you may write a 1-2 page response explaining the above questions, as well as adding anything else you like regarding languages.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif; font-size: 18pt;">3.) Language Study **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif;">Example: **<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif;">A tiny bit of light came through the shower curtains and __all from our room__, and I could see him lying in bed. I knew damn well he was wide awake. “Ackley?” I said. “__Y, awake__?”
 * <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif;">Here are some questions to consider: **

<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif;">After finishing the text and gathering thoughts within their journals, students will use their recorded information to pick a side: <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif;">Prior to the debate, each student will submit a one page paper stating what side they are on, and explain why. <range type="comment" id="666495">Grades will be given on how well each team works together collaboratively, and the amount of evidence that shows they are well prepared, and are familiar with the text; this grade is not based on which team wins. Depending on how many groups there are, we may have to have 2 or 3 different debates.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif; font-size: 18pt;">4.)Debate **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif;">Is Holden heroic, or just selfish? What makes him this way? **


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif;">DIRECTIONS: //**
 * <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif;">a.) ****<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif;">Paper CRITERIA **<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif;">: Do not just tell, but show and explain (with at least 3 examples from the book) why Holden is a good/bad character. Why is he nice to other characters and not other? Does he really do anything detrimental to other characters?
 * <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif;">b.) ****<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif;">Debate CRITERIA: **<span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif;"> Each team is responsible for an introduction, rebuttal, and conclusion. Your introduction should state why Holden is a good/bad character and contain a brief explanation, setting the stage for your team. Outside resources to support your side MAY be used. Each team member is responsible for a part; the majority of you will probably be active “rebuttalers”<range type="comment" id="794648">.
