Item description

Help middle and high school students go beyond basic plot recall and develop close reading analysis skills with this set of high-order questions covering chapter 23 of Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger. This worksheet is delivered in Word Document and PDF formats, and it eliminates the need for take-home assessment planning while upholding rigor in the classroom. An answer key is provided. With this close reading activity, students will:

  • Identify what the text states explicitly and implicitly
  • Consider the greater significance of a given detail
  • Examine how complex characters think, behave, interact, and develop
  • Articulate the function of Phoebe in terms of Holden’s character development
  • Explore the symbolism associated with Phoebe’s initial refusal to accept Holden’s red hat
  • Apply knowledge of literary devices including situational irony, dramatic irony, and hyperbole
  • Support claims and inferences with sound reasoning and relevant evidence
  • Write about fiction with clarity, accuracy, and precision

This resource may facilitate small-group discussions in which students decode language and pose/respond to questions relating to plot, broad topics, and character development. Using this resource for structured guidance, students will improve their ability to present information, conclusions, and supporting textual evidence clearly and convincingly.

Materials are available for teaching a variety of texts such as:
