The Outsiders "Whom Would You Choose Chart"

A great fill-in chart and discussion starter for Chapters One and the beginning of Chapter Two of the novel. It accomplishes three goals at once: 1) requires students to truly differentiate between and understand the traits of all seven boys, 2) requires students to reread the chapter in order to supply supporting evidence for their choices, and 3) points out that the boys, while experiencing affiliation through their relationship with each other, are in truth individuals with unique strengths and weaknesses.
