May 12


Today we will work on two things:
1. 15 minutes to start your Salinger-esque writing piece. 20 min to finish tomorrow.
2. Oral presentations

Write your own piece of prose in the style of The Catcher in the Rye.  
300-500 words, typed. (30 points)
This piece of writing could be anything from a conversation Holden has with Jane Gallagher, to the essay written about Allie’s baseball glove, to The Three Little Pigs--anything!  Let the creative juices flow.
Make it good!  We’ve spent a lot of time on this.  I’d highly recommend doing the following:
  • Review your findings from the colormarked passage
  • Review notes you took during the discussion
  • Pick an interesting topic
  • Write a rough draft
  • examine your own writing and find specific wording that corresponds with wording in The Catcher in the Rye.
