December came and went really fast! The accelerated ELA classes studied S.E. Hinton's The Outsiders. We read the novel in class and completed numerous activities related to the topics studied. Throughout this unit, we focused on citing text evidence (RL. 8.1) and analyzing point of view (RL. 8.6). Then,we had Officer Castro come speak to us about gangs and violence, and answered any questions that we had! Finally, we finished the unit off by watching the 1983 film version of the novel. We sure ended 2014 on a high note! Can't wait to see what 2015 brings!
