Students will be creating "Wanted Ads" for a character from the book to represent two identities of that character - the one that the Greasers see, and the identity that the public sees.
Here are the instructions students received in class today:
Your task:
Create two “wanted ads” for either Johnny or Ponyboy (choose one or the
other) on poster board or a sheet of solid white copy paper. You may cut a sheet of poster board in half
and use them for your two ads, or you can use two sheets of copy paper.
Your ads must represent two different
identities of the character: The identity that their friends the Greasers see (poster A), and the identity that the
public sees (poster B).
For each ad, decide whether Johnny or Ponyboy
would be wanted for acts of VIOLENCE/RIVALRY or wanted for acts of LOYALTY
(include a list of things the character is wanted for on each ad).
Include page number citations for details
from the text that support what you include on your ad (at least three
citations for each ad).
Follow the rubric below. This assignment
will be graded as a Reading CLASSWORK grade.
Here is an example of a Wanted Ad that would receive an A (although you'd need to add citations form the text!): http://msvertullo.cmswiki.wikispaces.net/file/view/WANTED+Poster.pdf
