In chapter one, we are introduced to two different gangs
and a variety of different characters.
How do you picture each of them in your mind? Use your own thoughts and words to define
what type of person they are to you as a reader.
Work collaboratively with one partner on this task.
For example:
Ponyboy gives me the impression that he is a good-hearted, sensitive teenager. I don't think he is like the rest of the gang. Although he's a Greaser, I don't think he's the typical gang member. I can't imagine him involved in any kind of violence or trouble with the law. I feel he is better than that. He seems scholarly, artistic and gentle. I think he would be a loyal, true friend. He seems like he really would like to please his older brother, Darry, who is a father-figure to him. He seems to understand, respect and like his gang members but makes me think he has more potential than any of them.
Your impressions of:
-The Greasers
-The Socials (Socs)
-Dallas (Dally) Winston
-Darry
-Soda Pop
-Johnny
-Two Bit Mathews

QUICK TEAM MATH CHALLENGE
Gas prices have recently dropped significantly from
$129.9 to $100.9 just today.
If your family drives a Honda Civic with a combined
city/highway fuel consumption of 7.5L/100km (50L fuel tank) and drives a total
distance of 1,000kms how much would you save in terms of:
-money? (how much “extra” $ in wallet now?)
-distance?
-gas tanks?
Do you think this drop would prompt Torontonians to drive
more (avoid TTC) and further i.e. take a road trip?
**Round up to $1.30/L and $1.01/L**

Topics to consider exploring in a group of 2:
Topics to consider exploring in a group of 2:
- Commuting in Toronto: public transit (bus/subway/streetcar), car (highways, main arteries), train (via/go), air (pearson/island airports), Mayor John Tory's plan to relieve congestion/gridlock
- Electronic movement of information in the 21st century https://prezi.com/flrgq7_ilyj0/everything-and-everyone-on-earth-is-in-constant-movement/
- International trade: land, air, sea freight of goods consumed
- Natural movments: earthquake, landslide, erosion, tsunami, typhoon, tornado, hurricane.

Patterns/Relationships Team Task
Use linking cubes to build 4 figures, each growing, each including the previous figure within it.
Represent these figures on a Table of Values: i.e. figure #, #yellow cubes, #green cubes, total cubes.
Identify the relationship between figure# and #cubes.
Express relationships using algebraic rule.
Use rule to calculate any other figure# without extending table.
Follow example:

Novel Study: Little Prince vs Fox, Train Switchman, Merchant, Pilot
Life becomes meaningful/serves a purpose when we establish positive and unique relationships, bonds, connections with people and things.
We cannot live a monotonous, mechanical life that lacks meaning in which we are spinning our wheels travelling no where.
We are to interact with others with an open heart not with our eyes that can't see beyond the superficial (outer layer).
Although relationships are susceptible to sadness and difficulty, they enable us to love, care, grow and ultimately make us better people.
It's suggested that as we grow, we tend to veer off path and drift about aimlessly looking for meaning, purpose, a goal.
We do not realize that true beauty lies hidden within a shell - our eyes are blind, we need to look with our hearts. Virtues like "loyalty" are intangible, not always visible but hidden within the secret depths of a person or the "tenderness of smiling faces".
As we mature from child to adolscent to adult to senior, it's suggested that we always maintain our innocence, imagination, creativity, curiosity and wonder that is often forgotten or replaced by what we consider to be more important values.
