THE CATCHER IN THE RYE: UNIT GUIDE Each group decides what how to complete each assignment Planning takes place on Thursdays, and each lesson plan will explain in precise and specific language the form and intent for each assignment. Do not over-plan. Make sure you have enough time (Mondays - Thursdays) to accomplish and finish everything for the week. Lesson plans should contain directions, timeframes needed to complete each assignment, and reflect higher-level critical thinking. Lessons will be approved if they meet these guidelines once submitted to the teacher on Thursdays. Some adjustments may be necessary; change(s) must be made before beginning lessons. It is also the responsibility of the group to read ahead or at home as CLASSWORK TIME IS FOR WORKING. READING MUST BE DONE AT HOME. Presentations: Presentation work days are Fridays. Please set aside Fridays for presentations days only.
