I'm just finishing up The Outsiders with a group. I found a unit online that has students explore the idea of "identity" - their own and that of the main characters. I usually find material online and then change it to suit my needs, but I've used most of this unit as it was presented and the kids loved it. The unit can be found at: http://www.personal.psu.edu/users/m/l/mlp180/junior/outsiders.html Carla

Unfortunately many of our students have read the book already, and with it being a requirement, I would like to teach it in the most engaging way possible (this will be the first time I've taught this book). I would love suggestions that would help me keep those involved who have read the book already. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
