Today we reviewed the Characterization Chart and discussed the physical and personal traits of the various characters in The Outsiders. Afterward I had you give my feedback (thumbs up, thumbs down) if our discussion helped you understand physical/personal traits. Only a few had their thumbs down. If that was you, I asked you to either talk with me or a friend who understands it better. Remember: we want to develop into INDEPENDENT learners. Be aware of your mistakes and get help for them!! You know I am available whenever you need me!
Next you took down new definitions from our literature book:
- plot
- exposition
- rising action
- climax
- falling action (resolution, denouement)
- setting
- theme
- conflict (external, internal)
- denotation
- connotation
- protagonist
- antagonist
Tomorrow we will discuss these definitions and apply them to The Outsiders!
Homework:
Read over your definitions to familiarize yourself with them!
