I have been thinking about pairing a film with the Catcher in the Rye for our unit plan, but haven't really found one I totally love....so I posed a question on the ning, "making curriculum pop," and have been totally overwhelmed with awesome ideas! I posted a question on the ning this summer for my "teaching with film" course, and received a similar outpouring of ideas. I would recommend signing up for the ning and using this as a resource for your unit plans if you are struggling.
As a side note, John Golden responded to my thread (very exciting) and he recommended a film that I had thought about in the beginning, but kind of put on the back burner. Now that he mentioned it, I kind of feel validated and I think I am going to revisit it and really consider incorporating it into the unit.
