World Café The Outsiders
Directions for the CAFÉ! For our final class, we will be participating in a discussion… of sorts Has anyone ever seen the café atmosphere in Europe? What do you picture at these cafes?
What is a World Cafe? • A world café is a place where you go to share ideas, and to hear from your classmates and fellow thinkers. • For the final: • Come dressed in your best French café attire! • Be prepared to discuss themes from The Outsiders • BRING YOUR BOOKS! • Tables of 4 (one recorder at each table) • 6 rounds of discussions • Sit with a different crowd EACH round • Be open-minded & Respectful • Think & Listen Critically • Be an ACTIVE participant!
Post World Café After the World Café Discussion, you will be writing a reflection of what you learned, and what you heard, so you need to make sure that you are listening carefully!
Welcome to the World Café! Please place your backpacks on/under the tables along the walls, and have a seat at any café table you would like! Things to have out during the world café: The Outsiders, and a pen or pencil
World Café Reminders • Listen carefully, and be respectful • Introduce yourself to your fellow café patrons! • Thank them when you switch tables! • Participate in EACH of the 6 conversations • Reference the text to support your thoughts • Think about world connections (text-world, text-self, or text-text) • Discuss ONLY the question on the board during each round.
Question #1 • Teenagers often engage in a “search for self”: Which characters go through a “search for self” – a journey of discovering their identity?
Question #2 • It is sometimes necessary to make sacrifices for loved ones: Who sacrifices what for whom in The Outsiders? What sacrifices have you made or seen others make in your life?
Question #3 • Family often includes people you choose to be with, not necessarily biological family: What expectations or qualities in a person would you find important in a “family” member? Are they different from those you desire of a friend? What does family and friendship look like in the novel?
Question #4 • True bravery arises in the midst of conflict: Which characters earned your respect through their response to conflict? How did they respond that showed a different side to their character?
Question #5 • Innocence is lost over time/Nothing stays pure: Which character learned this lesson? How did they learn it?
Question #6 Is there a lesson different from those previously listed that you learned from a character in this novel? Try to explain it in one clear sentence. Ex:“Johnny taught me that…”
The End of The Outsiders! Stay gold, everybody!
