We reviewed all four chapters of The Outsiders today by moving around the room in small groups and discussing significant quotes. We asked why the quotes are important to the development of the story or the characters. Next, our writing prompt was, “Why do you think Ponyboy used the term “premonition” to describe his internal feelings as he entered the church?” Students used evidence from the text to support their answers, and made sure they adhered to rules for direct quotes. Afterwards, students took a quiz on chapters 1-4. They could use their books for text support. Once they finished, they could start on chapter 5.

Homework:
• Read chapter 5 of The Outsiders.
• Complete the questions from the packet that correlate with chapter 5.
