The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton- We will be reading some of the book as a class and some independently.  You may listen to the audio version of the novel but please also follow along with your book--eyes on the page! 

CHAPTER 1

Step 1: Read Chapter 1 of The Outsiders

You may read this chapter silently to yourself or follow along in your book while you listen to the audio. Either way, eyes must be on print.

Step 2: Choose a character to track their character traits as you read.  Mark places in Chapter 1 that you see specific character traits

Step 3: In your Reader's Notebook-in the Writing about Reading Section, begin a T-chart comparing the greasers and socs.   Be sure to include page numbers and specific examples from the text.  

CHAPTER 2

Step 1: Read Chapter 2 of The Outsiders

Now that you have finished chapter 1, go ahead and read chapter 2. 

Step 2: Continue tracking your character.  Create a page in your Reader's Notebook that shows your thinking about this character.  Include character traits, specific examples and page #s where possible. (this is like the work we did with Will in the story"Popularity")

Step 3: In your Reader's Notebook-in the Writing about Reading Section, continue to fill in the T-chart comparing the greasers and socs.   Be sure to include page numbers and specific examples from the text.
