january 27

JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tunes: "Fake Friends" by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts; "The Real Me" by Doc Pomus/ performed by Johnny Adams]

Tackle any or all of these questions: What is a "phony"?  How is a phony similar to or different from a "poser" or someone who "fronts"?  Why is "keeping it real" so ridiculously fake so much of the time?  Why is it so important, and apparently so challenging, to be who we really are?  Why does Holden (and the author, J.D. Salinger) make such a big deal of this in Catcher in the Rye?

AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Chapter 5 reading quiz
3. Free play/masterpiece consultations

HW:
1. Read Chapter 6 and post a response to your blog (or write on paper and bring to class)
