Go outside and gather 5-10 objects that relate to the story. Create a Google Slide presentation that details a day in the life of Ponyboy Curtis. In the presentation, explain why those objects are important to Pony. For added effect, take pictures of the objects outside in the environment to add to your slides.

Option 1: Create a new cover for the book. Be sure to include the title, author's name, and lots of color! Use PIXLR or Canva to create a digital poster for your cover. Include a short description of why you chose to make this cover.

Rewrite the ending to The Outsiders in Google Docs. This should be 2-3 chapters. You may go in any direction you'd like with it. Will your story leave us on a cliffhanger or come to a screeching halt? You get to end the story how you see fit! Use Flipgrid to record yourself reading your final chapter. Be sure to read with expression!

Option 1: Write a letter (in Google Docs) from Johnny to Dally explaining the poem, Nothing Gold Can Stay. Give Dally advice about life and try to show him that there is good in the world. But not so fast! You must create a coded language that only two of them would understand. You can use symbols, letters, numbers, or whatever you'd like. Just be sure to give me a key for your creation so I can read it for myself! Use the site below as a resource.

Option 2: Write a letter (in Google Docs) from Ponyboy to Darry thanking him for everything he has done for him. Try and explain your feelings for why you acted the way you did. But not so fast! You must create a coded language that only two of them would understand. You can use symbols, letters, numbers, or whatever you'd like.

Choose an important scene from the story and create script that you (and a few of your classmates) can act out. You may want to build (or find) a few props that will make your play come to life! Use the resource below to help guide you through the process. Type out your final script in Google Docs.

Write a song/rap that focuses on one of the themes from the book. For example, you could write lyrics that discuss the empathy, social classes, acceptance, friendship, loyalty, or growing up. Record your song on Flipgrid or play it live for the class. If you want to get fancy, try using Bandlab to help create your music.

Option 2: In a group of 2-4, invent a social networking program that includes pictures, posts, and conversations between characters from the story (use the templates below if you need help). You can model your project after Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, etc. Use Google Docs or Google Slides to collaborate.

Put yourself in the shoes of one of the main characters of the novel. Imagine what it would be like to live through the events that took place in the story. What decisions would you make? How would the story end for you? Create a comic strip using Storyboard that details "your" journey through the most important events in the story.

Option 2: Illustrate one of your favorite scenes from the novel. Be sure to include the title, author's name, and lots of color on your illustration! Use PIXLR or Canva to create a digital poster. Include a short description of why you chose that particular scene.

Option 1: In a group of 2-4, work together to create a board game on Gamestructor that relates to the novel. For example, you may want to focus on Pony's journey or the Curtis brothers' lives. Or maybe you'd prefer some type of trivia; it's your choice! Be sure to include elements from the story (characters, settings, themes, quotes, etc.). Write out the directions so that we can play in class! Use Google Docs or Google Slides to collaborate.
