The Outsiders

Reading Journal 

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

It's the second day of school and my sixth period class came in, mostly on time... Everyone found their assigned seats and started writing down the agenda. We named our class blog which took a while but I think we came up with a pretty funny name. A couple of students passed out The Outsiders books and I took attendance. 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.

This is our class reading before Amore
found a little bug and freaked out.

We went over supplies for the class and 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
1. The Outsiders SE Hinton 

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

Amore freaked out and it took a minute before she came back into class. 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. Everyone put their chairs up and left for the day!
