=Welcome to Mrs. Cox's Wiki on //The Outsiders//!=

This classroom wiki will be a place for you to read and view information on our novel, //The Outsiders,// and its author, S. E. Hinton.

You should follow each link and read and/or listen to the information provided from each site in order to fully appreciate the novel. Be prepared to answer questions in class related to the information provided on these sites.

This wiki will also be used for your group to write a brief summary of the novel once the book has been read in class. Keep in mind that your group members will be able to make any corrections to your summary that they feel may be incorrect, and your group members may add information that they feel was of importance to the story. Each group member MUST add information to the summary. You will be given time in class to gather as a group to discuss each person's role and responsibilities. Please refer to the Rubric that you were given in class for information on how your group summary will be graded. Remember that use of correct grammar and mechanics is essential.

My hope is that you will love this book as much as I do. I also hope that from reading the information provided from the various sites, you will gain knowledge and be able to intelligently relay what you have learned to others in a thoughtful way.
