Reviewer Comments:
This resource is a well crafted unit on teaching the novel The Outsiders. Road maps for each chapter offer a: Get It Straight - Cloze section as a way to summarize the story, and a Delve-In section which offers Venn Diagrams and/or an opportunity to write 8-10 sentence answers to in-depth thematic questions. Students are asked to make connections to self, text and the world, employing best practice strategies in reading. Vocabulary sections are also provided for each chapter which ask the students to provide definitions, define parts of speech, write sentences, and draw pictures. While no scoring guide is provided, the entire resource could be used as authentic work sample/portfolio assessment.
