__**Maine Standards for Initial Teacher Certification and Rationale**__
This lesson is helpful for the students whose learning style are puppies because there are both peer and class discussions that allows students to feel safe in their working environments. The students who are clipboards work well in this lesson because they are able to learn the information, put it on the Graphic Organizers, and then take a quiz on it. For microscope students they need to use logic in this lesson to find examples and back up their reasoning with evidence from the book. Lastly, beach balls are given the room of flexibility in their Capzle project that allows students to be as creative as they want.

Throughout this lesson students will have numerous opportunities to be assessed on their understanding of the content of The Catcher in the Rye. First students will be assessed by having a discussion on the novel. Then students ill be doing a Symbol Chart Graphic Organizer that will assess their knowledge of the first twelve chapters of the novel.

 * Content Notes**

The theme of a story is the message or moral that is important to take away from the story. A theme is necessarily stated but it is the continuous message or lesson throughout the book. Fiction books are capable of having multiple themes. There tends to be multiple interperatations of themes in fiction books. If an object does not have some obvious meaning try and look for a deeper meaning to it. []

Common Themes-

Communication- Holden Cauflield does not have a good sense of proper communication. He talks to authorities as if their nothing. He uses vulgar and profanity and it doesn't seem to phase him.

Responsibility- Holden's personaility in the book represents a typical teenage who does not have a sense of responsibility. He thinks that the world is against him and that he does not think he has to be responsible. His mind set and outlook on life is what causes him to feel so disconnected from all the other people in his life. He doesn't try and put in the needed effort because he doesn't see the purpose of life.

Family- He has had some traumatic experiences in his life. His brothers baseball mitt is very symbolic to him because it represents the fact that his brother died. He feels conflicted because he wants to make a good impression on his sister but he is conflicted with his own person and who he is trying to become that it is hard to be a good role model.

Freedom-Holden is thriving on this idea of freedom. He wants the freedom that he can't quite have yet or isn't responsible enough for. He's trying to grow up so fast and yet he's trying to be further along in the growth process then he actually is and he is continuously conflicting with himself.

Friendship- Holden doesn't have any real friendships. He has many people that he goes to throughout the book but no specific friend that he has there consistantly. People offer to help him and are there for support but he feels alone and doesn't feel like he can really count on anyone.

Guilt- Holden has alot of emotions streaming through him though out the entire book but one of the biggest one's might be guilt. He isn't always specific as to what he feels guilty about but it's evident that his emotional state is very fragile. He feels like he holds a lot of weight on his shoulders and feels very disconnected from people. He isn't proud of some of the choices he has made in his past, but I don't think he can really come to terms with it because it doesn't even seem to be that he understands his feelings yet. Holden is truely expereincing the typical jounrey of a teenager and trying to struggle through the difficulties of growing up. []

Allusion is clarifying something by making reference to it. It should be something that the student can understand. Generally allusions are referencing historical places, mythological characters, or literary work. []

Symbolism ties together the storys actions to the theme. There are many symbolic components in this novel. These help illustrate Holden's journey and tell the readers a little bit more about Holden and help them understand how he is feeling. His brothers baseball mitt reminds him of his brother and really allows him to still feel connected with him. The Red Hunting hat is symbolic to him because it's his "favorite" object. []

Foreshadowing allows for the reader to know what is going to be coming ahead before it actually happens. The author may however give false clues so the reader doesn’t easily figure out the plot. Some consider Foreshadowing a literary device but mostly it’s a narrative device because its connected with telling stories. Foreshadowing builds anticipation and is a dramatic device. IT can also be used to make things more believable. Foreshadwoing in The Catcher in the Rye illustrated that Holden Caufield was obivously struggling through some major problems that would lead to some sort of "breakdown." Through the emotional roller coaster Cauflield is on he emphasizes that things aren't going to go well in the end. []

Allusion connects the text to the world.It makes a reference to other people. []
