Hours 2, 4, 8--I had a substitute today as I was at a leadership workshop with the student council in St. Paul. During class today, classes listened to chapter 3 of the book on CD for The Outsiders. Students also received a crossword puzzle reviewing key ideas from chapters 1-3 as well as the vocabulary words for this week.
Hours 3, 5--Today students discussed Robert Frost's famous poem, "Nothing Gold Can Stay" as it pertains to The Outsiders. Students then wrote a critical response connecting the theme of the poem to Ponyboy's experience in the novel.
- Re-read from the bottom of page 76 “One morning I work up earlier than usual…” though to the bottom of page 78 “Shoot,” I said blowing a perfect smoke ring, “maybe they are.”
- Consider the passage when Ponyboy recites “Nothing Gold Can Stay” for Johnny. How does the theme of the poem fit with Ponyboy’s experience in the novel?
- Use at least 2 direct quotations to prove your point.
