The+Outsiders+Advice+Column+Instructions

Your assignment is to write a Dear Abby letter from the point of view of one of the characters in The Outsiders asking for assistance in dealing with a conflict in the book.

Choose one character and imagine yourself in their place. Write a letter to "Dear Abby" asking for advice on a conflict your character is dealing with or has dealt with in the book.

Your letter must be a minimum of 10 sentences and will be graded for correct spelling, punctuation, grammar, and understanding of the conflict addressed.

You must turn in a handwritten copy of your letter at the beginning of class on Monday and have your letter posted on discussion page no later than 3:30pm Monday.

To begin your assignment, go to "The Outsiders Advice Intro & Examples" in the navigation menu to the left. You will post your letter on the "Intro & Examples" discussion page as a response to the FIRST posting by me in the discussion thread with your class period in the title.
