Reviewer Comments:
The Curriki Review Team applauds your unit on Catcher in the Rye. You have used many modalities to engage students in thoughtful reflection. Your external links, use of wiki, and assessments demonstrate best practices in teaching. We look forward to getting more material from you!


I'm really very impressed with this lesson plan. I think it's great to incorporate the classroom wiki too. Do you find that elongating the plan 8 weeks becomes tedious particularly at the 12th grade level? I would be concerned with the students going to college the next year and not having worked on shorter unit plans. In reflection, have you adjusted any of the time frames for the assignments?
