Group Teaching Assignments

Hello, Periods 3, 4, and 9!

You must COMPLETE your reading of The Outsiders (Chapters 9-12) - and the related character charts - by Monday, November 3!

On Monday, October 27, we will be explaining your group teaching assignments based on Chapters 4-8 of The Outsiders. Each group will be responsible for teaching its assigned chapter. You must come up with a 15-20 minute lesson based on the characters, plot, and thematic elements of your chapter. Consider a creative approach to get your classmates hooked on what you have to teach! You group's performance will be evaluated by your teacher(s) as well as your fellow classmates. This assignment will count as a classwork grade. The schedule is as follows:
Monday, October 27: Explanation and group planning time
Tuesday, October 28: Group planning time and Chapter Four lesson
Wednesday, October 29: Lessons on Chapters Five and Six
Thursday, October 30: Lessons on Chapters Seven and Eight
Friday, October 31: MOVIE DAY!

This will be one of your last grades for the first marking period. Make it a good one!
