The Outsiders Micro CERS #05



DUE Friday, 11/30/18, to Turnitin.com before 3:15 pm

Chapter 5

*Spoiler Alert*

PROMPT –

When Ponyboy shares the Robert Frost poem Nothing Gold Can Stay, Johnny states how he has changed how he looks at the world because of Ponyboy sharing poetry.  Also, Johnny seems to have really deep insights about the novel Gone with the Wind.  

Some people seem to appreciate literature (poetry and novels) more than others.  In either the real world or in the story world of The Outsiders, are people who appreciate literature better off than those who don’t?  Or is appreciating literature just a personal preference without any real benefit?

Write a Micro CERS on which side you agree with. 

CLAIM – Mention the title, author and type of media.  Turn the prompt into a clear position.  (1 sentence)

EVIDENCE – State the best evidence to support your claim.  It may be a quotation from the text, or the best single point to prove your argument.  (1 sentence)

REASONING – Use logic to explain and elaborate how your evidence proves your claim.  (2 – 4 sentences).

SYNTHESIS – Briefly restate the claim using different wording
