To give you a sense of how our Learning Guides can be used by teachers as lesson plans and by parents to supplement school curriculum or for homeschooling, we have set out below three of the seven themes from this story identified in the Learning Guide to The Outsiders.
This story has many themes. Here are a few:
1. It is important to "stay gold", that is to keep your youth with its innocence, wonder at the beauty of the world, and understanding that we are all related.
2. The divisions between these two groups, like the divisions between most cliques of kids and most groups in society, are artificial and based on circumstances of birth and random events in life. Socs, like Greasers, have sorrows, problems, difficulties in coming of age, dreams for the future, etc. Divisions between people are harmful because they interfere with friendships and relationships that would normally develop if the divisions were ignored.
3. Violence is not a good way to solve problems.
The Learning Guide to The Outsiders also contains sections on Benefits of the Movie, Possible Problems, Helpful Background, Discussion Questions, Links to the Internet, and Bridges to Reading. The Discussion Questions are divided into three categories: Subject Matter, Social-Emotional Learning, and Moral-Ethical Emphasis.
