Tuesday - Aug 7th

Recap:

Today we went over key points from chapters four and five, namely the stabbing of the Soc, Bob, and Johnny and Pony's hideout. We then discussed chapter six and how the drama of the fire put the view of the Greasers back in a positive context. Afterwards, we got into our expert roles from our literacy circle assignments and had our two best presenters. Later on, we played a fun 60's lingo vocabulary came. Finally, we became first person narrative reporters on a major event of our choice from chapter four or six.

Chapter Six Questions:



1. Do you think Dally's parents have influenced the way he is; his personality? Explain.

2. Why doesn't Dally want Johnny to turn himself in?
3. What “other side” of Dallas is revealed in this chapter?
4. What's your own definition of a hero? Do the three boys prove themselves to be heroes, according to your definition? Explain.
5. Why do you think Johnny wasn't scared, despite the obvious danger, on page 92?
6. What does Pony realize about Darry at the end of this chapter?
