"The Outsiders": A WebQuest Built Upon Diversity and Its Impact

Welcome: "The Outsiders": A WebQuest Built Upon Diversity and Its Impact
Description: This WebQuest will lay out a detailed plan for the reading/comprehension of "The Outsiders". As this novel is a timeless and impacting work of literary art introduced in one of the most pivotal points in students' education, it is imperative that a thorough and multi-method approach is implemented. Consider this WebQuest to be a tool or stepping-stone for students' transition into Young Adult/Secondary Education literature and a higher level of thinking.With warring social circles, kids being forced to grow up far too fast (that ultimately leads to running from the law), alcohol and cigarettes, and brotherly love and loyalty winning over all, students are bound to be interested. Now it's your turn, as a teacher, to take that interest and elevate it--mold it--into knowledge that will carry them through these tumultuous years.
