We have started The Outsiders. So far there has been very positive feedback on the book and we're just getting into the thick of it this week. There will be two projects to go along with the daily reading assignments, quizzes, and discussion.
1. Casting a new movie version of the book (which I'm surprised hasn't been remade yet!) The students will have to write a description of several characters from the novel, choose a person to play that character, and explain his or her choice. I have added this to the assignments tab above and will be discussing it in class on Friday.
2. There will be a short creative writing piece based on the novel. I will not assign this until closer to the end of our reading of the novel. More details to come!
Again...it doesn't matter which character these illustrations are supposed to represent!
