Today's class flew by! Phew. Tonight, I'd like for you to complete a few different tasks:
1. Tomorrow we will be having an inside/outside circle discussion. I will be staying in the outside circle and observing the whole time and will not prompt the discussion unless absolutely necessary. I want you all to be prepared to lead the discussion. Tonight, review chapters eight through eleven to prepare for this. You may want to make a list of topics for discussion or questions that you would like to bring to the group. You can also raise anything that you don't understand. The inside circle will consist of ten students, the outside circle will consist of twenty students. Tomorrow will provide all of you a chance to earn some participation points.
2. I would like for you to read and annotate chapters twelve, thirteen, and fourteen. Continue to play with some of the ideas that were raised in today's discussion/lesson especially the Madonna/Whore Complex, sexuality, innocence and corruption.
3. Lastly, if you did not finish your preparation on your group's female character. Please have that done for tomorrow. The important thing to consider is this character's function in the text. Why is she here? What is Salinger trying to accomplish or show by including her?
Don't forget about vocabulary cards on Friday!
