5.0 out of 5 stars Great tool for High School teachers, March 17, 2002

This review is from: The Catcher in the Rye : A Unit Plan (Litplans on CD) (CD-ROM)

Being my first year as a high school teacher, I knew I would need some tools to help my first year go by without a hitch. This lesson plan (CD) did just the trick. I later bought one for The Crucible also. These each have 137 pages of activities, vocabulary, study guides, writing assignments and rubrics, tests, puzzles, and word searches. All I can say is wonderful. The other English teachers love them and out department head is looking into buying a series of the titles!

4.0 out of 5 stars Worthwhile CD for Teachers, October 26, 2001

This review is from: The Catcher in the Rye : A Unit Plan (Litplans on CD) (CD-ROM)

I bought this CD to help me with one of my classes and found it very helpful in teaching the novel. I usually create my own material but this time the expenditure was worth it. The disk contains vocabulary exercises, quizs, tests, and many things that reinforce what teachers try to do. This CD is practical, solid and takes a traditional teaching approach. It's easy to use and very well organized, leaving it up to the teacher to provide the inspiration and creativity to ignite young minds.

1.0 out of 5 stars Material doesn't match grade level of students., September 11, 2011

This review is from: The Catcher in the Rye : A Unit Plan (LitPlans) (Digital)

This unit was disappointing. Although it there were a few useful ideas for some projects, the study/review questions are much too elementary. Any student at the level where they would be reading this particular book would not be challenged or interested by the questions. The unit plans barely scratch the surface of the material and only target a superficial understanding of the novel and characters. It's hard enough living on a teacher's salary, making the wasted 17 dollars sting that much more. I wish I could get a refund for this product.
