__Introduction__ Many people can relate to Holden: the loner, the sad, depressed rich kid from New York City that has everything yet can't seem to get it together. One reason is because, although the book is relatively short, there are a number of things going on in the novel at the same time. Holden is not a one-dimensional character, but rather, he consists of layers that slowly peeled away as the novel progresses. There is not one reason why this book has made such an impact on America; there are many. But how can we bring Holden into the modern era? Your job, as a class, is to **create a wiki** based upon Holden and his thoughts on the events that happened to him at Christmastime. The class as a whole will be responsible for compiling six pages. Each page should be comprehensive, well thought out and researched, covering the topic in full, all the while trying to be concise as possible. You will be placed in groups which you will work with throughout the unit. Each group will individually help one another gather information and will be given class time to discuss gathered information. You will also be given time to post your information on the wiki. You can also post at home any time if you have internet access. When you’re done, at the end of the six weeks, you’ll have a great resource that everyone in the class can benefit from. __Process:__

Start looking at google for information, videos (if applicable), and images. You can find lots of information on literary elements, symbolism, history, etc. Whatever you get, add it to your web page. You are going to edit later, so don't worry if you have too much. Remember: This is a project that will be seen by all of your classmates. They are relying on you to give them the information necessary for the projects we’ll be covering on this novel. It is up to **YOU** to provide them with what they need. Do your best to spell everything correctly and follow the conventions of standard English, such as using complete sentences, watching subject-verb agreement, and avoiding short cut language that one might use when instant messaging
 * Make connections:** Look at what you have and ask yourself the following questions
 * What does this say about Holden?
 * Do I have a better understanding of his character?
 * Is there something more I can say about this?
 * But what does this have to do with the novel?
 * Go to the wiki and make additions and changes.**
 * Edit, Edit, and Edit again.**
 * Make sure your information is correct.
 * Make sure you have information that supports your claims. For example, if you feel the ducks on the lagoon are a symbol in the novel, give examples in the novel of when it is mentioned and resources from the web to support this.
