Another outsiders question: (Example is in comments, Assignment: Click the family tree man icon below to open the attached chart to fill in examples of certain traits of a family being used in the novel. Give specific examples in the book where you see evidence of that trait.

For example, for problem-solving , you could list that Darry decides to take responsibility for the care of his younger brothers because he is the oldest and feels that in this situation, them staying together is the best solution to the problem of them becoming orphans.

You will work on this chart for the next few lessons. This Family Traits Chart will be due (Last) Friday to the Family Traits Chart dropbox. This chart is one of the most important parts of The Outsiders Unit and will be used as an assessment grade. THAT MEANS TEST GRADE Make sure to carefully complete the chart using evidence from the novel.)
