If you didn’t finish the resume for your character of choice from The Outsiders, please finish it tonight and bring it in tomorrow.
Here are some more pics of clothing from the time period, so you can plan your outfit for Thursday! (”Dress Like a Soc or Greaser Day!”)
This is from the Sears catalog, 1966:
Montgomery Ward catalog, 1964:
Today in class, we finished reading The Outsiders. We also discussed the assignment that we will be completing on Monday– “Creating a Resume for an Outsiders Character”. In order to prepare for this writing piece, you should do two things:
1) Select the character for whom you plan to create a resume. I would highly recommend using one of the eight characters included on the character traits charts.
2) Use one of the following website to locate a job for which that character might apply:
Atlanta Journal-Constitution Jobs
Don’t forget… next Thursday is “Dress like a Soc or Greaser” day!
Here are some 8th grade teachers from another school where they had Soc/Greaser day… check it out!
And another random dude who dressed up like a Greaser…
Cherry and Marcia, from the movie…
ALSO… period 7/8 may want to take this opportunity to catch up on their character traits chart, which is due Friday! (Hint, hint!)
