CIR Blog Directions and Due Dates
Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger
Blog Directions:
You will use the Bloom's Higher Order Thinking Prompts to pose questions to your classmates and then answer your classmates' questions.
Questions must be from the analysis, evaluation, or synthesis cues.
Steps to follow:
1. Pose your best question--you don't even have to know the answer to it. Because your question will come from the higher order thinking skills, it will require your peers to explain and support their ideas with textual evidence from the novel.
2. Answer two prompts posed by your peers. Your responses must be explained thoroughly, using textual evidence (that means direct quotes cited correctly) to support your ideas. Write at least a paragraph to explain your ideas (5-7 sentences, which does not include the textual support).
3. You are responsible for reading all of your classmates' responses. If you respond to the same question as someone else, you need to read their response so you are not just repeating what has already been said. If you have nothing new to add, don't respond to that question. Your response should build onto the conversation and refer to previous ideas if you plan on adding your response. You are trying to build upon the ideas of others and encourage an intellectual and analytical dialogue about the text (See rubric).
Due Dates:

If you are absent on the day of discussion:
You are responsible for writing a two page (typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman, size 12) analyzing the topics of our class discussion. I will email you to let you know what these are. You will need to print this off before class and hand this in to me the next day. If I don't have it the day you return, you will receive no credit for the discussion.
