For Chapter Two of Catcher in the Rye we want to gather quotes that show Holden's attitude and personality. We will collect them in a T-chart with two columns in our notebooks. The left column will contain quotes copied from the text. The right column will contain inferences about what we imagine is true for Holden based only on that particular quote.
*Intermediate step: Circle key words that show attitude and personality. Then in the right column find synonyms for those words.
Here's an example.
Quote (left column)
“I’ll just tell you about this madman stuff that happened to me around Christmas just before I got pretty run-down and had to come out here and take it easy” (p. 1).
This shows me that Holden . . . (right column)
is not completely sane, may even be crazy ("madman stuff"). He is tired and may be running away from something ("run-down"). He also needs to relax and chill out ("take it easy").
Block D wins the Rock Star Quote Notetaking Award of the day. Congrats!
Homework: Finish reading Chapter 2. Find at least 2 more quotes (for a total of 4) that show Holden's attitude and personality. Maker sure you make some inferences about him in the second column!
Vocab: adapt (v)
I always have a hard time adapting to school after a vacation. I can't ever get up early and I always forget my backpack.
REMINDER: Vocab quiz on Monday, March 2nd!
