Ask these six “consumer questions” when vetting a story:

• Who made this?
• How was this made?
• Why was this made?
• When was this made?
• What is this missing?
• Where do I go from here?

"Backtrack Journal" --Choose a video you have watched and shared (this should take no longer than five minutes--don't get distracted and carried away watching a ton of You Tube videos). Ask the "consumer questions" above.  Create a "backtrack journal" (using Google Slides--go to Google Classroom for template) showing when and where the video, post or article first appeared.

Analyzing Mood and Tone in "Nothing Gold Can Stay"-The Outsiders

We will be analyzing both the poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost  and the scene in The Outsiders where the Ponyboy recites the poem.  Now we will watch the video clip from the movie to analyze the mood and tone.  How are they the same?  How do they differ? How does the camera angle contribute to the mood in the film?  How does the author's style contribute to the mood?  What are the emotions the director wanted the audience to feel?  What emotions did the author want to evoke in the reader?

Nothing Gold Can Stay

By Robert Frost

Nature's first green is gold, 

Her hardest hue to hold. 

Her early leaf's a flower; 

But only so an hour. 

Then leaf subsides to leaf. 

So Eden sank to grief, 

So dawn goes down to day. 

Nothing gold can stay.

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.

Chapter 1 Audio

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. 

Chapter 2 Audio

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.
