Catcher in the Rye Quiz #1

Catcher in the Rye
After our quiz today we will have a discussion about what we've read so far.  I hope you all felt good about the quiz and have enjoyed your reading so far.  Clearly, Holden is a young man with some issues.  He seems disconnected from teachers, peers, and even his own family.  As we read further we will look into why.  Think about that as we continue with the novel.  We will have another quiz next Monday (10/13) on chapters 5-8.

For your English assignment this week due Monday (10/13) when you arrive:
Can you relate with the way Holden feels sometimes?  Are any of his feelings ever warranted?  I want you to write about a time where you felt disconnected.  This could be from teachers, a principal, or school... peers, even friends or family.  Think about a time when you felt excluded or like nobody else could understand you.  Please write a one page narrative, or story, about this experience.  Try to focus on one specific event rather that just summarizing.  Please use dialogue to enhance your story.  Please use proper quotations when using dialogue.

Art History

Your assignment for this week is on the Art of Early China and Korea.  Think about some of your favorite pieces as you will have to give a detailed presentation on your favorite piece of Early Asian Art.  This will be due Friday (10/10) before the end of the day.

Museum of Contemporary Art
I am trying to plan a field trip to the Museum of Contemporary Art which is in Downtown San Diego.  I wanted to gauge your level of interest and talk about transportation possibilities
