Today's Class and Tonight's Homework - Friday December 9, 2016

AGENDA

Objective:  To continue getting to know Ponyboy and the other Greasers in The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton.

Warm- Up - Begin working on page 2 of your Characterization handout

1.) Finish Characterization notes -  Dynamic and Static Characters

2.) Begin character activity (directions below).  You need to have at least 3, no more than 6 quotes (from chapters 1-6) to show your character's core of who they are (their personality, values/beliefs, etc.). 

3.) As you read your chapters, you need to dialogue with your text (either with sticky notes or on a separate piece of paper) using the two essential questions that we've already gone over as a guideline (stereotyping and characterization).  Whatever evidence you find to support finding answers to those questions, make sure you note it!  I will be checking your form of dialoguing on Monday!

4.) Agenda Books

CHARACTER ASSIGNMENT
1.) Choose one of the following characters to be your character:  Ponyboy Curtis, Johnny Cade, Dallas "Dally" Winston or Sherri "Cherry" Valance

2.) Write your character's full name at the top of a piece of paper

3.) Using all of the characterization information (direct) and clues (indirect), draw your character in the center of the paper.  You MUST use your text to make sure every detail is covered in your character's physical features.

4.) Then go through the chapters you've read so far.  Find quotes that show (indirect characterization) who the character really is and what they're all about.  Use your notes (the S.T.E.A.L. method) for finding this information if you need help.
