Jeanette MachoianA Teaching Guide to The Outsiders (Discovering Literature Series)

The guide is useful, especially for lower lexile readers and readers with low motivation. The activities can be "lifted" from the worksheets and made into interactive processes for cooperative groups. A Teaching Guide to the Outsiders (Discovering Literature)

This has good questions to use for quizzes.

very helpful

As a teacher, I am always looking for additional resources for my novel studies. This particular resource was very helpful for my students who enjoy creating visual aids.

My students liked the worksheets and activities that came in this guide. It was also very beneficial to me as a teacher.

My students enjoyed this novel so much, and the teacher's guide helped me reinforce ideas, especially character. I would urge any teacher to use this guide with teaching.

I used this with my 6th grade intermediate reading class. The students absolutely loved reading The Outsiders and this teaching guide made it so easy. It had blackline masters for vocabulary and summary writing pages, it also gave the important vocabulary for each chapter and different activities that could be used at the end of reading each chapter. My favorite part though was the fact that it already had tests created for every few chapters, all I had to do was make copies and hand them out. I would suggest this teacher guide for anyone teaching The Outsiders, especially in a middle school setting.

Educators! Regardles if you are a Homeschooler, ESE teacher or Regular Ed Teacher this is a great resource for you. You have everything you need and for an added bonus purchase the movie. Everything you need for teaching literature or reading is here. Background knowledge, above and beyond engaging activities and discussion materials. The Blackline Masters and extended activities including vocabulary, questions, assessments, writing exercises, literature/story elements and answer keys. Quality lessons for Eng/Reading classes both MS and HS. I used this with High Maintenance students (IEH) which included a mixture of low/high reading/writing levels not to mention emotional disorders. The students enjoyed this and we watched the movie. The students and I had fun naming the know actors:Tom Cruise,Patrick Swayze,Diane Lane,Rob Lowe,Matt Dillon, Ralph Macchio (Karate Kid), Emilio Estevez and S.E. Hinton(I didn't know this)played in this movie. Students were amazed of this books timeframe, the authors story and the relevance of this story in spite of it's era. Educators don't pass this up. Use it the first semester or end of the year and experience success! <><

Dies ist ein wirklich hilfreiches Buch, das einem Lehrer Hinweise und Tipps geben kann. Besonders hilfreich sind die Inhaltszusammenfassungen der Kapitel, so dass man bei mehrfacher Verwendung des Buches in aufeinanderfolgenden Jahren sich schnell wieder in die Kapitel hineindenken kann. Auch die Fragen sind häufig gut, manche bleiben aber zu sehr auf AFBI stehen. Dennoch eine lohnenswerte Anschaffung. Überdas Layout der Arbeitsblätter lässt sich streiten, aber ich finde es noch ganz okay.
