Welcome to Catcher in the Rye!

Greetings, fellow readers!

This is our Catcher in the Rye Reader Response forum! For the next 6 weeks, we'll be responding to our class novel in digital format. Instead of wasting valuable paper (and valuable time), we can use the magic of the internet to communicate!

Before we get started, there are a few rules:

1. Absolutely no profanity. This includes all common swear words, innuendo, racial slurs, or links to profane websites. If you wouldn't say it in my class, do not say it in this forum.

2. Only use constructive criticism. No name-calling, insults, or otherwise hurtful comments.

3. NO TEXT LANGUAGE. I h8 txt. OMG, pls. Ur smarter than that.

4. You must use your own name as your user name. If elfgrl92 or hellokitty214 posts a blog, I will delete the post, thus canceling any credit.

5. Please stay on topic. I don't want to hear about what your prom dress looks like, whether you passed your driver's test, or why I should try out Bonne Bell's new Pink 'n' Sparkly Glitter Lip Gloss.


Each week, I will post guided questions to which you will respond. EVERY student must post ONE independent post and TWO responses EACH week. The schedule will be as follows:

Week 1: Read Chapters - 1-4

Week 2: Read Chapters - 5-9

Week 3: Read Chapters - 10-15

Week 4: Read Chapters - 16-20

Week 5: Read Chapters - 21-23

Week 6: Read Chapters - 24-26

Remember, you must access and post to this blog every week. I will remind you in class, but you should make a habit of checking BOTH Edline and the class blog.
