Hello Outsider Bloggers,

You never cease to amaze me with the insight you bring to the novels we are reading in class!  I hope that you enjoy discussing and posting about the novels as much as I do : )  Many of you impress me each time I open the comments sections and read through your posts.  You have successfully finished reading one of my personal favorite books of all time!  

Obviously you know that I would give this book a fabulous review, but I am always curious about your thoughts.  Please let me know about how you liked the book and why in the comments sections below.  As always, you don't have to agree with me!  If you didn't like the book, by all means let me know and tell me why you didn't care for it.  That's the beauty of reading and discussing novels... everyone has their own perspectives!

Welcome to The Outsiders blog!

You will be blogging after each chapter during this novel unit.  I will post questions related to each chapter. Choose one of the questions to answer for each chapter.  You will need to respond to at least one other student's comment each chapter as well.  Remember that when you are responding to another student's blog, you need to comment positively and appropriately.

Blogging rules-

  1. Use appropriate language.
  2. You may only blog about the book. Nothing personal!
  3. You may not post any personal information (use initials only).
  4. Use proper writing conventions.
  5. Use evidence from the novel to support your answer.
  6. When responding to another student's post, you need to reference which post you are responding to along with your own response.
