"Nothing Gold Can Stay"

Last class we came across a poem in The Outsiders that Ponyboy recited to Johnny one evening while they were hiding out in the abandoned church. We didn't spend any time talking about it, so that's what we're going to do today.

Reading in Pairs

Welcome to your new seats!

Now that you've found it, ask your partner 

to introduce him/herself.

Take a couple minutes to write about a
moment in your childhood that you remember
vividly. Be as detailed as possible. It can be
happy, sad, funny, scary-- whatever you
remember it to be. You will be sharing.

-------------------------------------

For The Outsiders:

Today you will be doing a little more independent work.
As you read, you will discuss with your partner and
collaboratively answer the questions provided. The following
guidelines will help you do this.

---------------------------------------------------

We may not get to our performance task today,
but if we do, this is what you need to work on:

1. Read and annotated ALL four texts.
2. Complete Graphic Organizer One and Two

Just Keep Reading

Do Now:

On your warm-up sheet in your Outsiders folder,
write today's date (April 21).

1. Take a minute to review Chapter 3.
2. Pretend you are Ponyboy, and that you have his
    feelings and ideas.
3. Choose one of the following characters and
    describe the character from Ponyboy's point of view.

• Darry
• Sodapop

----------------------------------------------------------------

We have a lot of reading to do today. 

---------------------------------------------------------------

Your tasks for the day:

1. Write a paragraph. The prompt we will discuss:

 
A *major event* happens in Chapter Four.
Using details from the book, Describe the actions 
that Johnny and Ponyboy take after the incident.

2. Continue working on your character chart.

Socs vs. Greasers

As you listen to/read Chapter 3 today, make sure 

to continue noting unfamiliar vocabulary.

After we read chapter three of The Outsiders today, 

we will continue our examination of important quotes 

from the story, and explaining their significance. 

Today we will be focusing on the characterization 

of Greasers vs. Socs.

Your tasks:

1. Chapter 3 quote sheet and prediction
   about the next chapter.
2. Continue working on character chart.
   (DO NOT FORGET to describe character
   traits. Physical traits are great, but not enough.)

When we have about a half hour left, we will

continue working on the Performance Task.
