Take out a sheet of paper and write your name on it. You will be turning this in.
Choose one of the three quotes below. Copy it down and explain what we
learn about the character's personality from the quote.
"Soda is one of a kind… In our neighborhood it’s rare to find a kid who
doesn’t drink once in a while. But Soda never touches a drop--he doesn’t need
to. He gets drunk on just plain living." (pg. 8)
"[Dally’s] eyes were blue, blazing ice, cold with a hatred of the whole world.
Dally had spent three years on the wild of New York and had been arrested
at the age of ten.” (pg.10)
"Johnny Cage was last and least. If you can picture a little dark puppy that
has been kicked too many times and is lost in a crowd of strangers, you’ll
have Johnny." (pg. 11)
---------------------------------------
Today we will be reading Chapter 2 of The Outsiders.
While we listen to the chapter, don't forget to keep
your notecard beside you to write down words that
are confusing or new to you.
You have three tasks (which I will give to you)
when the chapter is completed:
- Write a paragraph to summarize a scene.
- Answer the questions about quotes from the chapter.
- Continue working on your character organizer.
