6. The Catcher in the Rye - Anticipation Activity
The September 2006 cover of The New Yorker featured the inner workings of a teenage brain. As you can see, it’s outdated already. In anticipation of our next text, The Catcher in the Rye, which gives us an in depth look at Holden Caulfield’s teenage mind in the 1950s, let us first ruminate on what occupies the mind of a 2014 Harrison High School student.
For homework, on the back of this paper:
List what is “on your mind” or the typical HHS teenager’s mind.
Draw the inside of your, or the typical HHS teenager’s, brain.
Your drawing needs to:
Represent the things that occupy your mind (or the
typical HHS teenager’s mind) and how much space they take up. In other words, if you spend a lot of time thinking about what you are going to eat for lunch, then draw that proportionate to your other items.
Use both words and pictures in your brain. Please note: this differs slightly from the example below.
Take up the entire paper so we can see your brain clearly.
Your work should be neat and clear. You are encouraged to color, draw, and neatly outline for maximum aesthetics.
