The Outsiders Day!
Today we CELEBRATED all of our hard work on our novel study of The Outsiders. This morning, we all piled into the computer lab, looking pretty fierce in our Greaser and Soc costumes, and we watched the movie! There were snacks, and laughs, and tears and an amazing discussion after the movie. It’s clear that many of us liked the book much better than the movie! (Pssst! Secret for you: The book is almost ALWAYS better than the movie!)
Once again, I have to tell you all that I AM SO PROUD OF YOU! I couldn’t believe how we were able to have a really interesting and totally civil discussion with about 60 people in the room. Grade 8, you are totally amazing!
Here are some pics of us enjoying our morning!
THE GREASERS!
THE SOCS!
THE RUMBLE!
Greasers, just standing around looking ‘tuff.’
We look very ‘tuff’ and Soc-y, right?
Thanks for a great day, Grade 8! This was the best celebration of The Outsiders yet!
One thought on “The Outsiders Day!”
Well done, Mrs. D and Grade 8 students! You all really captured the key features of the novel during your study of it and your activities today. You certainly got the “look” right. I’m not surprised that you were able to all be in one room and have a meaningful discussion, since that is exactly what I saw during one of your book talks earlier this year.
