I.  INTRODUCTION TO S.E. HINTON'S THE OUTSIDERS
- review the title and the cover
- make observations about the cover illustration and start to determine
   characters, setting, story (make predictions)
- be VERY specific, like a police detective; WHAT do you see, exactly?
- review backpage blurb (continue to make predictions/refine predictions)
- also, at the end of this activity, look at the title and the author's name
- how are they "designed?" -- text, size, placement on cover, color of text
   (in both cases, each cover accurately reflects the story)

II.  WHAT IS AN "OUTSIDER?"
- what does the title mean or possibly mean?  what could it mean?
- obviously, it's important enough a concept to be the title of the book, but why?
- WHO is an outsider?  how?

- one page QW.
  first begin by defining what you think an "outsider" is
  how someone or something becomes an outsider
  examples of people or types of people you think are or could be outsiders
  FINALLY, at end (when prompted by teacher), explain who or what the Outsiders in the book are

III.  OUTSIDERS CH 1
- if you could be played by any actor who would it be and why?
- or, who is your favorite actor and why?

- begin to read chptr 1 (up to page 18)
- answer underlined questions in spiral (bRACE format)

- we will also model #1 bRACE format and take time to just discuss Q's in class
