Outsiders
Novel Unit: “The Outsiders”Grade: 8thFayzah Yahya20 November 2013Chunking Plan RationaleThe novel I will be using is titled “The Outsiders” and I will be chunking it into five chunks: chunk one are chapters one through three, chunk two are chapters four through six, chunk three are chapters seven through nine, chunk four are chapters ten through twelve.Chunk one is comprised of chapters one through three. These chapters will be taught through a teacher-directed lesson. I chose to combine these chapters into a chunk because they introduce the characters and give much detail and information on the two groups, Socs and Greasers, and the problems between them. It is in these chapters that students will understand why Ponyboy is need of choosing between conformity and individuality. It is in the third chapter that Ponyboy shows rebellion against his brother Darry. After coming home late, Johnny gets scolded by Darry. While they are arguing, Darry smacks Ponyboy and that’s what leads Ponyboy to run away from home. To introduce the three chapters, I plan to show a collage of pictures that represent events that will take place as well as objects that will be used. Students will get a chance to predict what the chapters will be about. Then the students will read a problem and answer questions. The problem will be the same as the one Ponyboy experiences when the soc find him walking alone. After answering the questions, students will choose between these activities: role-play, character collage and who would like which music?Chunk two is comprised of chapters four through six. These chapters will be taught in collaborative learning groups, this way the students can try something on their own. I chose to combine these chapters into a chunk because it is in these chapters that Johnny commits murder and he and Ponyboy are forced to runaway to the church and stay there for several days. When Johnny commits murder and he and Ponyboy run away, they know they made a bad choice. Throughout their stay at the church, they contemplate about who they really are as individuals. To kill time, Ponyboy reads “Gone With the Wind” out loud to Johnny, something he couldn’t have done back home. He and Johnny watch the sunset and Ponyboy recites the poem “Nothing Gold can Stay.”He then admits to Johnny that he wouldn’t be able to tell Darry, Two-bit or Steve about the sunset and that’s what makes him different. In the next scenes, Dally comes to visit them at the church and takes them out to eat. When they return to the church, they find it in flames. Ponyboy, Johnny and Dally end up saving the kids who were inside the burning church and that’s when Johnny gets injured and taken to the hospital. As an assignment, students will review the task sheet and be numbered off into five groups. In these groups, students will first write and discuss major events that occurred in the section of the novel. Each group will then examine Robert Frost’s poem first and fill out the worksheet where they will have to define purpose, mood of the poem, and an image to represent the poem. They will then examine a different poem in which they will have to define purpose, mood of the poem, and an image to represent the poem. The group will then design a poster that compares Robert Frost’s poem to the group’s poem. The next day, students will present their posters to the class by reading the poem, describing it, and comparing it to Robert Frost’s. While one group presents, the other groups are taking notes. The students will then choose to do a wanted poster, news article, or poem.Chunk three is comprised of chapters seven through nine. The lesson for these chapters will be teacher-directed. I chose to combine these chapters into a chunk because they deal with the struggles and loss that Ponyboy goes through and how that will affect his decision of choosing between conformity and individuality. In these chapters, Johnny is taken to the hospital for his injuries. Johnny, Dally and Ponyboy become heroes on the front page of the newspapers. The rumble, which is the fight between the greasers and Socs takes place soon after. The final big event of the chunk is Johnny’s death. To introduce the chapters, I will show a clip from the movie, “The Sandlot” where the rich kids try to bother the gang and the gang challenges them to a game of baseball where they end up winning. While watching the clip, students will take notes of elements that are similar to the novel, and answer questions for later use. After answering the questions, students will have a writing prompt to complete which will ask them if they have lost a dear person. They will then choose between these activities: news cast, hero poster, movie scene comparison.Chunk four is comprised of chapters ten through twelve. This lesson will be teacher-directed because it is the last one. I chose to combine these chapters into a chunk because they comprise of the reflection and Ponyboy’s choice of individuality. In these chapters, Ponyboy reflects a great deal on Johnny’s and Dally’s deaths. He also finally understands his brother Darry and gets a chance to speak with characters from the Socs group. He reads the letter that Johnny left for him in the book “Gone With the Wind.” In this letter, Johnny tells Ponyboy what he thinks Robert Frost’s poem means. He explains that a person is gold when they are a kid, that everything is still new. Johnny advices Ponyboy that staying gold is a good way to be. Therefore, after everything he has been through, everything he has heard, seen and done, with different characters, Ponyboy finally realizes that it’s alright to choose individuality. As an introductory activity, students will have a gallery walk where they will walk around the room in groups, looking at pictures of teenagers from all walks of life. They will answer questions for every picture they see. The point of this activity is to show them that everyone is different and unique. Also, they will understand why it is not right to judge someone based on their ethnicity, social status, color, and anything that makes them different. After answering the questions, students will choose between the alternative ending activity, talk show or the essay. Overall RationaleI have chosen to complete my unit plan on the novel, “The Outsiders” because it relates to the human condition of choosing between conformity versus individuality in everyday situations. Conformity is a type of social influence involving a change in belief or behavior in order to fit in with a group; while individuality is the quality or character of a particular person that distinguishes them from others of the same kind. In everyday life, people are seen choosing between conformity and individuality whether it is at work, school, at home or in public. To conform or not conform; that is the question that every person asks themselves when they are in situations where social influences exist. While one person may choose to conform in order to fit in with a group, another person might choose instead to be a rebel by distinguishing themselves from any group. For example, one person might choose to conform to the school’s popular group rather than be themselves; while another person would rather act, dress, and think the way they want rather than follow what’s mainstream. Therefore, in the end, the decision goes back to each and every one of us whether to be ourselves or follow others. In regards to teenagers, this novel would definitely be of interest to them because it contains a theme which they are probably living through at their age. It seems students find this book a validation of what they see in their own lives and appreciate reading about the struggle for individual identity while still wanting to belong to a group. The whole idea of conformity versus individuality is very important for teenagers to understand at their age and time. They are at a stage in their lives where conforming to the “group” and trying to change in order to fit in is occurring or going to occur as soon as high school begins. They probably think that distinguishing themselves would lead them to be unpopular and not cool; therefore wiping that idea away. That is why it is vital for teenagers to read such a novel as “The Outsiders” to understand that they are not alone and that Ponyboy is going through the same thing. Also, the whole concept of the in-group and the out-group remains the same through time. There will always be a teenager who is debating whether or not to conform to a certain group; whether to be themselves or be classified as something. That is why it is essential that teenagers know the difference between conformity and individuality through reading “The Outsiders” and getting in touch with the characters. I believe reading this wonderful novel will get the students thinking about their own lives and how the theme compares. And who knows, some students may even be inspired by the novel to choose individuality over conformity. The students for whom this unit is designed for are eighth graders. There are two students who are poor readers, while the rest of the class is made up of good and great readers. They are a mix of males and females. In regards to social status, some students are high class, some are working class and a few are middle class. There is a group of girls and boys that is popular and cool according to rumors and it is evident in the way they behave. The students in this group are very privileged and due to that, they can be quite arrogant in their speech. They wear the best of clothes, live in the best of neighborhoods, and have educated, rich parents who provide anything and everything to them. Another group of students is not as lucky because they are the sons and daughters of working parents who work hard to make ends meet. These students wear hand-me-downs, live in not-so-great neighborhoods and have to work part-time to help their parents out and to pay for their own expenses. The third group is not a group, but rather just several students who would rather not speak to anyone and just mind their own business. Racially speaking, the class is not as diverse as it should be with 90% of the students being Caucasian and 10% being other. There seems to be a great number of Caucasian students due to the area that the school is located in. It is a school that is located in between the suburbs and an urban area. That explains the reason for the line between the student’s social statuses. Some students come from the suburbs while others are from the urban area. As for interests, some of the students are diverse in their interests while others share the same interests. Two boys are on the football team and, two girls are on the cheerleading team, five boys don’t have any specific interests because they work part-time and don’t have the time for any extracurricular activities, one girl tutors afterschool and loves to read, two other girls hang out all the time and enjoy listening to music on their iPods, three girls are on the volleyball team, two boys are in the math club, three girls don’t have time for anything because of problems at home, one boy sleeps in class all the time, one girl is always getting in trouble in all her other classes and the rest of the class enjoys different subject areas and sports but are not in any clubs. Most of the boys enjoy listening to rap music while the girls are into the latest songs that come up on the radio. The class seems, as a whole, to enjoy gossip and rumors. They get excited when they hear that a fight occurred, a student got expelled, two students going out or as simple as a student saying something silly in class. The students can’t wait to find something to talk about.It seems when it comes to student concerns, some students have no concerns while others do. The students who live in the urban areas worry about their parents and how hard they are working to make ends meet. They care about school but they are more concerned with their part-time jobs and helping to pay off bills and expenses. One kid comes to school, does his work, then quickly goes to his work afterschool. Another kid would rather spend all his time at school because he is afraid to go to an empty home. His parents are divorced and his mom is always working. One girl is concerned with her grades because she knows that education is her ticket out of her tough life. On the other hand, the kids who live in the suburbs never show any concerns unless it’s about losing a football game or missing an important club meeting. They are only concerned with showing off and picking on other kids. The kids who are neither poor nor rich are concerned with their classes and to get done with the school year.

Wanting to show what they too could do, even with disability,?I came near some children who were sitting outside,I started waving and shouting, not afraid, did I hide,I came ever so close and their smiles came so clear,I told them don't be afraid to try, don't ever fear,?Then my heart took me to other places that day,?Everywhere there were others, who thought they'd never find a way,?But I told them they didn't need a wheelchair with wings,?For right there on the ground, God can give many good things,Then I told them of someone who loves them so much,?He wants to help you receive His special touch,?So much you can receive,?God can make you like Eagles, to fly, if you believe,?Strong, independent, ready to go out reaching others, living a life of real happiness, is what's all about, Then my heart was finished for this day was complete,I had been allowed to travel and reach out from my very seat,?If never does my wheelchair sprout wings another day,I can still reach out to others, in my own way.AlienationA small boy?travels to a distant land,knows not his custom, language and hand.Knows not his value, faith, and face,knows not his virtue, love, and place.He's alien in this nation of rules and laws.By virtue, a rebel without a cause.Trapped in his place of walls without walls,an alien by nature when his nature calls.He seeks out others of similar fate,he seeks them out before it's too late.They convince him that their cause is just.They convince him they alone he must trust.In a nation without station a plan is hatched,in an intricate pattern the flax is thatched.One life for the cause with heaven at stake.He is now in a trance and will not awake.He's knock, knock, knockin' on Heaven's Gate.Please, please stop him before it's too late!Should have never reached this state:ostracized, separated, alienated and berate.When will we learn to confront our fears,?the alien in our nature that causes tears?Sheep In FogThe hills step off into whiteness.People or starsRegard me sadly, I disappoint them.The train leaves a line of breath.O slowHorse the colour of rust,Hooves, dolorous bells -All morning theMorning has been blackening,A flower left out.My bones hold a stillness, the farFields melt my heart.They threatenTo let me through to a heavenStarless and fatherless, a dark water.OutsidersI cannot walk through my lifeWithout seeing them- guys and girls,?Silently calling, crying outTo be noticed. They think they are normal;?I say they are not. They are empty,?Hollow- shadows and ghosts.?Their silent cries, falling on the deaf earsAround them, reveal to me who they are-Dead, outsiders. They cannot escape reality,?So they close it out, huddling themselvesIn the illusions of who they pretend to be.I alone see their truth, butI cannot reveal it, for I am not in their world,?Being- as I am- tied to reality.Please Hear What I'm Not SayingDon't be fooled by me.Don't be fooled by the face I wearfor I wear a mask, a thousand masks,masks that I'm afraid to take off,and none of them is me.Pretending is an?art?that's?second nature?with me,but don't be fooled,for God's sake don't be fooled.I give you the impression that I'm secure,that all is sunny and unruffled with me, within as wellas without,that confidence is my name and coolness my game,that the water's calm and I'm in commandand that I need no one,but don't believe me.My surface may seem smooth but my surface is my mask,ever-varying and ever-concealing.Beneath lies no complacence.Beneath lies confusion, and fear, and aloneness.But I hide this.? I don't want anybody to know it.I panic at the thought of my weakness exposed.That's why I frantically create a mask to hide behind,a nonchalant sophisticated facade,to help me pretend,to?shield?me from the glance that knows.But such a glance is precisely my salvation, my only hope,and I know it.That is, if it's followed by acceptance,if it's followed by love.It's the only thing that can liberate me from myself,from my own self-built prison walls,from the barriers I so painstakingly erect.It's the only thing that will assure meof what I can't assure myself,that I'm really worth something.But I don't tell you this.? I don't dare to, I'm afraid to.I'm afraid your glance will not be followed by acceptance,will not be followed by love.I'm afraid you'll think less of me,that you'll laugh, and your laugh would kill me.I'm afraid that deep-down I'm nothingand that you will see this and reject me.So I play my game, my desperate pretending game,with a facade of assurance withoutand a trembling child within.So begins the glittering but empty parade of masks,and my life becomes a front.I idly chatter to you in the suave tones of surface talk.I tell you everything that's really nothing,and nothing of what's everything,of what's crying within me.So when I'm going through my routinedo not be fooled by what I'm saying.Please listen carefully and try to hear what I'm not saying,what I'd like to be able to say,what for survival I need to say,but what I can't say.I don't like hiding.I don't like playing superficial phony games.I want to stop playing them.I want to be genuine and spontaneous and mebut you've got to help me.You've got to hold out your handeven when that's the last thing I seem to want.Only you can wipe away from my eyesthe blank stare of the breathing dead.Only you can call me into aliveness.Each time you're kind, and gentle, and encouraging,each time you try to understand because you really care,my heart begins to grow wings--very small wings,very feeble wings,but wings!With your power to touch me into feelingyou can breathe life into me.I want you to know that.I want you to know how important you are to me,how you can be a creator--an honest-to-God creator--of the person that is meif you choose to.You alone can break down the wall behind which I tremble,you alone can remove my mask,you alone can release me from my shadow-world?of panic,from my lonely prison,if you choose to.Please choose to.Do not pass me by.It will not be easy for you.A long conviction of worthlessness builds strong walls.The nearer you approach to methe blinder I may strike back.It's irrational, but despite what the books say about manoften I am irrational.I fight against the very thing I cry out for.But I am told that love is stronger than strong wallsand in this lies my hope.Please try to beat down those wallswith firm hands but with gentle handsfor a child is very sensitive.Who am I, you may wonder?I am someone you know very well.For I am every man you meetand I am every woman you meet“Nothing Gold Can Stay”Robert FrostNature's first green is goldHer hardest hue to hold.Her early leaf's a flower;But only so an hour.Then leaf subsides to leaf.So Eden sank to grief,So dawn goes down to day.Nothing gold can stay.-805180-469900-805180-469900-805180-469900-805180-469900-873125-537845-816610-537845-895350-436245-895350-537845-828040-537845-828040-537845-816610-526415-816610-459105-793750-481330-748665-447675-729615-447040Chunking Plan 1(Chapters 1-3, Teacher-directed)Chunking Plan 2(Chapters 4-6, Collaborative learning)Chunking Plan 3(Chapters 7-9, Teacher-directed)Chunking Plan 4(Chapters 10-12, Teacher-directed)Name_____________________________________________Date________________ The Outsiders: Anticipation Guide Directions: Below is a series of statements.
