The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
I am so happy to be sharing The Outsiders will all my eighth graders this year. What a great way to start the year. Last week, students created character posters for members of the Greasers. This week, we will be focusing on how lines of dialogue and events propel the action of a story and reveal certain aspects of a character. Both vocabulary and citing textual evidence are a strong focus and will continue to be throughout the year.
Remind 101
If you have not done so already, please have your student and yourself sign up for this free text service. This is a quick, easy way for me to communicate with parents and students about assignments, upcoming events, etc. You can download Remind 101 free of charge from the app store. The code for my class is @henderson8
Book Project Information for Prep/Prep Plus Students...
This week, students will be receiving information regarding their quarterly book projects. Students will be given a detailed outline for the expectations for these projects. The first project may be completed on The Outsiders, if students prefer.
