The Outsiders

Reading Journal 

HW: RJ 1.1 T.O. p. 1-18

It's the second day of school and my fifth period class came in after lunch. Everyone found their assigned seats and started writing down the agenda. We named our class blog which was a quick and painless process thanks to Dedrick's idea :). A couple of students passed out The Outsiders books and I took attendance and recorded book numbers. I collected  course outlines and ALMOST everyone turned theirs in, but one was missing so the class didn't earn a point, but I explained how if the class earns 10 points for perfection we get a reward like doughnuts or pizza.

Once all of that was done we set up our reading journals like this:

Student Name's Reading Journal

Reading Log

Title              Author        Date Started        A /  C

The A/C stands for abandoned or completed. Then we started reading The Outsiders as a class and set up the actual reading journals like this:

1.1     8/14/13        The Outsiders            p. 1-18
We learned the narrator is a greaser and he lives with his two brothers because his parents died. He's walking home from the theatre when a bunch of Socs surround him. We discussed the homework for tonight: to write a summary of the rest of the chapter. That was all for the day!
