The Outsiders LS

Hey there! You'll be traveling back in time to the 1960s and diving into the world of the characters in S.E. Hinton's book, The Outsiders. You'll learn the differences of life now and then, and learn more about the world they lived in.

You will be comparing and contrasting life in the 1960s to life today. You'll have to look through the links provided to learn about life back then.

Start by thinking about life today. What are the clothes that we wear today like? What cars are popular today? What is society like today?

Then, start reading about what life was like in the 1960s. There are links provided below that will tell you about it.
