The purpose of this unit is to help students gain a greater understanding of other people’s perspectives and to consider issues such as social class, gang violence, death, friendship and the struggles of life. They will have the opportunity to read the novel The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton, enhance their reading comprehension and vocabulary, interpret meanings from the text, and reflect upon the main themes of the novel. At the end of the unit we will discuss and reflect upon the main themes of the novel including fighting, gangs, prejudice and what it is like to be a teenager.This unit uses group work, whole class discussions, and individual projects as a means for students to demonstrate their understanding. RationaleThis unit would be a good experience for Junior High students because it can broaden their perspective and enables them to see something from another person’s point of view. In Junior High students are very concerned with labeling others and forming groups. This novel provides clear examples of how things are not always as they seem and that labels can be deceiving. This unit covers various curriculum outcomes from the Language Arts curriculum. A detailed list can be found in the table below.
