Homework: November 1

Good morning everyone!

RABBIT RABBIT!  (There is a joke that if the first thing you say on the first day of the month is "Rabbit Rabbit!" you will have good luck for the rest of the month)

Today we started The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton.   Please click the link for an online version of the text.  Also, click here for a video version of the book as well.


As we start reading The Outsiders it is important to think about when this story takes place.  What was important to teenagers during this time?  What was cool?  What did it mean to be a family?  What role does your reputation play in who you are?  These are questions we are going to discuss over the month of November.  Talk with your friends and family about these ideas too!
