Chapter 4

*Spoiler Alert*

PROMPT – After Johnny kills Bob the Soc, Ponyboy and Johnny get help from Dallas and choose to run away, leaving town. 

Write a Micro CERS on whether, given the situation, you believe that their decision to leave town made sense from their perspective.  Or do you believe that, given the situation, they more realistically would have chosen to immediately turn themselves into the police? 

Remember:  this is not about what you would have done.  Put yourself into their perspective as Greasers and think about the way the world works from their point of view.  

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
