English 8

We've been finishing up some short story assignments and transitioning into our new unit on The Outsiders this week. The Sightlines Collages were due today, and the character paragraphs are due next class. Today we looked at the historical context of The Outsiders, and some of the 60's slang meanings. We also read the first chapter of the novel.

Reminders:

• Collages: due today!
• Character paragraph (plan, daft, and good copy): due Thursday, Oct. 20, 2016
• Outsiders worksheet - questions #1, 3, and 5: due Thursday, Oct. 20, 2016
