  1. Data Analysis & The Outsiders By Rebecca Chin Ed 200 Professor Dougherty April 27, 2004

  2. Introduction • Students will have read the novel, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton • Students will analyze data information for Tulsa, Oklahoma and Hartford, Connecticut • Gather data on gang-related information in both areas

  3. Context • This lesson can be taught in any middle school in Hartford, Conneticut (or it can be modified to any other urban setting) • 6th-8th grade • Preferably with block scheduling (more time in each class) • Materials Needed: The Outsiders, handouts on statistics on Tulsa and Hartford, graph paper, movie of The Outsiders

  4. Objectives • Students will discuss perceived similarities and differences between Tulsa and Hartford • Discuss perceived similarities and differences in gang-related activities in Tulsa and Hartford • Students will do research/get handouts on statistics on Tulsa and Hartford with discussions on their findings • According to the Connecticut Framework: (a) “Identify points at which comprehension breaks down and correct misunderstandings without prompting” (grade 7) (b) “Interpret and analyze the influence of culture, history and ethnicity on themes and issues in literature” (grade 6)

  5. Activities

  6. Evaluation • Quiz • Active classroom discussions • Small writing assignments/Essay • Final paper • The students enthusiasm to learn new things and participation

  7. Conclusion • With this lesson, I want students to get rid of stereotypes and to seek out the real information • My hopes is that with this lesson plan, students will find reading more exciting because they can apply it to real life, especially their own community (and see that other’s are not that much different).
