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.
