The Outsiders Slideshow Template

The research list offers varied inquiry paths connected with the novel’s 1960s setting and continuing social questions. Each topic supplies an objective, guiding questions, and several possible products such as presentations, comparative analyses, visual collections, or annotated playlists. Opening course slides establish setting and major themes before expanding into historical background. Exact novel quotations, personal names, proprietary prompts, and protected passages are intentionally excluded from this record.

About this resource

The Outsiders Course Slides and Research Projects

Use a 24-slide editable PowerPoint to introduce a four-week course and connect the novel with historical and cultural topics. A five-page research-project file offers ten topic choices, guiding questions and varied deliverable options.

The download also includes twenty general lined note pages and a two-page supporting file, for 51 pages and slides overall. The note pages do not contain chapter-specific questions or guided prompts. Supply your own note-taking focus, copies of the novel and outside research sources.

Choose a research option and ask students to connect their findings with scenes, characters or themes from the novel.
