Description
Have your students analyze characters from S. E. Hinton’s novel The Outsiders in a fun and engaging way — Character Collabs!
Your students will use several characterization methods to depict each character’s profile, demonstrate their understanding of the literature, and present their final work on a beautiful collaborative poster.
This project is a hands-on approach to learning that enhances retention and inspires students to tap into their creativity.
Students will engage with the novel on a deeper level — thinking critically, making inferences, and fostering empathy. Additionally, they will learn the importance of collaboration and effective communication.
There are ten characters from The Outsiders included in this resource:
Bob Sheldon, Cherry Valance, Dallas Winston ("Dally"), Darrel Curtis ("Darry"), Johnny Cade, Ponyboy Curtis, Randy Adderson, Sodapop Curtis, Steve Randle, and Two-Bit Matthews.
To construct each poster, students will work in groups to analyze their assigned character, transfer their findings to the poster’s boxes, color or decorate the individual pieces, and finally tape them together to create the completed display.
Each poster is made up of six pieces of paper, which can be printed on regular copy paper or card stock. Once assembled, the final product measures 28" × 15" and makes a striking classroom display when laminated!
This resource includes:
Teacher Guide
Student Directions
Rubric
Brainstorm Character Analysis Worksheet
Blank Coloring Pages for each character
Answer Keys
Example of Final Project for Ponyboy Curtis
Digitally Colored Examples for every character
Editable Documents (directions, rubric, brainstorm worksheet)
