A fun way to do a more in depth analysis of a character and how they change is to create a Wanted Poster. Students can pick any character from The Outsiders, or they can be assigned by the teacher. They'll create a Wanted Poster that provides a description of the character, their gang alliance, important information, and the "reward", which will be where the character is at the end and how they've changed.
Teacher note: Add additional template options to the project by visiting our Wanted Poster template page!
