In this 6-week class, we will read and discuss the novel The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. We will meet 2 times a week. 

This class will be taught with the use of Canva Slides and discussion. During each class, we will read the book aloud, answer reading comprehension questions, and discuss how various literary devices and figurative language are used in the book. We will also analyze the characters, setting, plot, and themes. 

My teaching style is student-centered and discussion-based. We will read most of the book in class, but students may need to finish reading the chapter outside of class.
