• "Where I'm From" poem guesses
• Perspectives in The Outsiders
• We get Ponyboy's first person account, which helps us relate to him and to the greasers. However, this is a biased point of view; consider what other characters might be thinking or feeling throughout the story.
• In groups: rewrite one of the following scenes (choose 1-2 pages from the book):
• Johnny writing chapter 1, introducing all the characters
• Dally writing chapter 1, introducing all the characters
• Darry writing chapter 1, introducing all the characters
• Cherry writing chapter 2, meeting some of the greasers at the drive-in movie theater
• Cherry writing chapter 3, describing the conflict with their boyfriends and the greasers
• Johnny writing chapter 4, describing the scene at the fountain
• We will finish and share these during Monday's class.
