		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to Teaching The Outsiders. This is yet another attempt at blogging; the last couple have sort of petered out, and there were some administrative &#8220;issues&#8221; as well, and&#8230;well&#8230;anyway. This one will follow me and my seventh graders through the process of reading S. E. Hinton&#8217;s The Outsiders. That&#8217;s the plan anyway. I have said for years that The Outsiders is the best way to make junior high, sorry, middle school kids like to read. To make them &#8220;get it&#8221; about literature having something to say about life. To make them understand what writers and readers do. To understand that it&#8217;s characters that make the story. And on and on. It&#8217;s my favorite thing we do in my class. So mostly, I guess this is for those middle school teachers out there who want to see what it looks like in someone else&#8217;s room when they &#8220;cover&#8221; or &#8220;read&#8221; or &#8220;study&#8221; a novel. Stay tuned. Meanwhile: Check out SeventhGradeEnglish.com for stuff to tide you through until September.]]></description>
