  1. WARM UPIn groups of four: take turns reading your rants aloud to your group. After someone has read, each person in the group gives them one piece of positive feedback such as…I really liked the point you made about___You did a good job persuading me that___I like the line where you said___When your group is finished, select one person’s rant to share with the class.

  2. Slight Rebellion Off Madison What you will do: • compare first and third person narrative voices • consider how the author’s use of tone affects the story • craft a well structured paragraph on how Holden’s narrative voice affects the tone of the story.

  3. Slight Rebellion Off Madison • In 1945, Salinger had a short story published in The New Yorker involving Holden Caulfield. This story, titled “Slight Rebellion Off Madison,” would eventually be developed into The Catcher in the Rye published in 1951. • Read the short story, paying particular attention to the mood of the piece. • Highlight aspects of the story that stand out as being notably different from The Catcher in the Rye. • Once finished, read pages 150 (beginning with “But when I got inside this phone booth”) through 153 (ending with “But I didn’t feel like getting on a damn bus”).

  4. Comparing Tone • In groups of 3 or 4 Create a Venn diagram comparing and contrasting the two stories. • Focus on similarities in plot, character and setting, and differences in mood or tone.

  5. Tone Analysis Paragraph • Now write a well-crafted (8-10 sentence minimum) paragraph on how Salinger’s decision to use Holden as a narrator changes the tone of this portion of the story. • Before doing so, let’s quickly review the parts of a paragraph and the TISAS formula.

  6. The Topic Sentence • Explains to the reader what your paragraph is about. • The topic sentence should explain two things: 1. Name the specific topic of the paragraph 2. Identify a particular feeling or feature about the topic. *** Note that the topic sentence is usually the first sentence in the paragraph but it can be located near the end.

  7. The Body • This should all support the idea expressed in the topic sentence. • Each sentence should add new details about the topic. • Use specific details=Quotes from the novel. • Organize your sentences in the best possible order.

  8. The closing sentence • Comes after all the body details have been presented. • It should remind the reader of the topic, summarize the paragraph, or link the paragraph to the next paragraph.

  9. Homework • Read Chapter 22 • Finish your tone analysis paragraph following the TISAS formula.
