 * Class Project - Catcher in the Rye Wiki **

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, **one per group. **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 and assigned one topic. You will work with your group throughout the unit to help one another gather information on your topic. You will be given some class time to discuss gathered information. You will also be given some 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 we will have a great resource that everyone in the class can benefit from.
