Today we had our block broken up a little with picture day, but we still managed to get in some discussion about The Outsiders. We went over key characters and the setting, making sure that everyone specifically understood both the relationship between the brothers, and the differences between the Socs and the Greasers.
After this, we talked about annotation, and I distributed a handout that should give you a better idea of what to annotate in your reading. Be sure to begin annotating in your assigned reading this weekend.
At the end of the period, students broke into groups and elected to be either "Socs" or "Greasers". You spent today, and will spend some time on Monday, creating recruitment posters for your assigned group. Remember, each poster should include at least five quotes about your group and what they are like.
Due Monday...
-Read chapters 3 & 4 in The Outsiders
Long Term...
-Fiction story start due on 9/23 (You'll have two more days to work on this in class)
