Read pages 11-20.
Today we learned about generation labels. The Outsiders takes place during the Baby
Boomer generation. The Socs gang are
rich children. They are part of the Baby Boomer generation (the generation of
children born after World War II. We also Generation Z
(the generation of children born in the 90’s and now).
Option 1: Write a
paragraph in which you compare and contrast Generation Z to the Baby Boomer
generation. Explain what a generation is. Which generation do the characters of
the novel belong to? Which generation do you belong to? What is similar about
these two groups? What is different?
Option 2: We discussed two different generations: the Baby and
Generation Z. Do you agree that everyone born during a generation acts the
same? For example, do the Greasers and
Socs fit the description of Babyboomers?
Do you fit the description of a Generation Z young person? Why or why
not?
Option 3: Draw a poster that shows the difference between
generation Babyboomer and generation Z.
Draw a T chart. Name one side Babyboomers and the other Z. Draw images or list items that members of
these generations might own or wear.
