Welcome

This site has been created as a resource to students and teachers interested in J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye.  The main offering is a WebQuest focused on the 1950s and how society’s forces can prompt creative and talented people to “Fit in, Break out or Break down.”

The learning is supported by a developing unit plan based on the backwards / Understanding by Design approach championed by Wiggins and McTighe.

I will continue to add content and activities from my previous life and a high school English teacher in California as well as my later work creating WebQuests and other eLearning activities.

Thanks for stopping by and feel free to get in touch.
