Chapters 25-26

DO NOW:  please re-read pages 211-214

LEARNING TARGET: I will understand Holden’s central conflict, and I will be able to decide whether is has been resolved.

LOOK FORS: I will know that I have hit the learning target when:

• I can identify Holden’s central conflict.
• I can think of at least three examples of Holden struggling with this conflict throughout the book.
• I can use evidence from the book to decide whether Holden’s conflict has been resolved.

AGENDA:

1. DO NOW
2. Group Discussions
1. Lit Circle
2. Prompt for 25-26: Resolution:
1. What is Holden's central conflict in the novel?
2. By the end of the novel, do you think Holden has resolved his conflict? Consider the quotation: “The thing with kids is, if they want to grab for the gold ring, you have to let them do it, and not say anything.  If they fall off, they fall off, but it’s bad if you say anything to them” (Salinger 211).
