Preparation- photocopy Four Corners Anticipation Guide- photocopy Story Impressions

Anticipatory Set- book teaser (5 minutes)

They walked around slowly, silently, smiling.“Hey, grease,” one said in an over-friendly voice. “We’re gonna do you a

favour, greaser. We’re gonna cut all that long greasy hair off.”He had on a madras shirt. I can still set it. Blue madras. One of them

laughed, then cussed me out in a low voice. I couldn’t think of anything to say. There just isn’t a whole lot you can say while waiting to get mugged, so I kept my mouth shut.

“Need a haircut, greaser?” The medium-sized blond pulled a knife out of his back pocket and flipped the blade open.

I finally thought of something to say. “No.” I was backing up, away from that knife. Of course I backed right into one of them. They had me down in a second. They had my arms and legs pinned down and one of them was sitting on my chest with his knees on my elbows, and if you don’t think that hurts, you’re crazy. I could smell English Leather shaving lotion and stale tobacco, and I wondered foolishly if I would suffocate before they did anything. I was scared so bad I was wishing I would. I fought to get loose, and almost did for a second; then they tightened up on me and slugged me a couple of times. So I lay still, swearing at them between gasps. A blade was held against my throat.

“How’d you like that haircut to begin just below the chin?”It occurred to me then that they could kill me.

Direct Instruction/Guided Practice

- review the meaning of character, setting, and plot (5 minutes)o would have been previously discussed in a short story unit

character – the “who” setting – the “where” and “when” plot – the “what,” “why,” and “how”

- introduce the book and time period (15 minutes)o Today we are starting The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. S.E. Hinton started

writing the novel when she was a fifteen year old going to high school in Oklahoma. She wrote the book after a friend of hers was beaten up by some other teenagers who didn’t like that he was a “greaser.” (what do you think makes someone a greaser?)

- Four Corners Anticipation Guide activity (25 minutes) (B8)o assign each corner a label of “strongly agree,” “agree,” “disagree,” or

“strongly disagree” and then read off statements and have the students move to the corner – once there have them Think-Pair-Share

o give students a handout (appendix) with all the questions being asked and have them check off which corner they went to and explain why

o do the first four as a class and then have the students complete the worksheet for homework – writing a one to three sentence explanation of their answer

Friends should always stick up for each other. It is fair to judge people based on their appearance. Brothers and sisters can be your best friends. People who love you always say, “I love you”

Boys should help with household chores. Beating someone up is okay if it is for a good reason. You should always help people even if you get hurt because of it. Running away from home is the only way to escape problems. Gangs always want to get into fights.

- have students complete a Story Impression activity starting with the first lines of the novel (20 minutes) (C3)

o When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home…

tough greaser undisturbed drawing hollering

“Sure,” I said.“That’s like saying all you greasers are like Dallas Winston. I’ll bet

he’s jumped a few people.”I digested that. It was true. Dally had jumped people. He had told us

stories about muggings in New York that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. But not all of us were that bad.

Cherry no longer looked sick, only sad. “I’ll bet you think the Socs have it made. The rich kids, the West-side Socs. I’ll tell you something, Ponyboy, and it may come as a surprise. We have troubles you’ve never even heard of. You want to know something?” She looked me straight in the eye. “Things are rough all over.”

Lesson 8: I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry – Hank Williams

I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry – Hank Williams

Hear that lonesome whippoorwillHe sounds too blue to flyThe midnight train is whining lowI'm so lonesome I could cry

I've never seen a night so longWhen time goes crawling byThe moon just went behind the cloudsTo hide its face and cry

Did you ever see a robin weepWhen leaves began to die?That means he's lost the will to liveI'm so lonesome I could cry

The silence of a falling starLights up a purple skyAnd as I wonder where you areI'm so lonesome I could cry
