Author: Angelo Frischeti Title: Teacher Role: K-12 Classroom teacher Location: East Haven Public Schools, CT Date: 03-24-03 An activity/assignment that helped my 10th graders really relate to and respond to Catcher in the Rye is the Following: "You are Holden Caulfield. Write an additional chapter of Catcher in which Holden describes what happens to him when he comes to East Haven High School." I Explain to them that they have to know Holden's mindset and attitudes. Many find that they have more of a connection wth Holden than they originally admitted when they work on this assignment.
