We are up and running with Ponyboy and the rest of the Greasers as we began The Outsiders earlier this week. Focusing on the topics of identity, family, and social justice, we will read the novel as well as discuss quite a few real like issues that 8th graders have to face everyday. The Outsiders continues to be one of my favorite books to read as well as one of my favorite books to share with 8th graders for this exact reason. It is pretty incredible to think that a teenager wrote this book over 50 years ago and it continues to speak to teenagers today.
