The Outsiders. What 8-10 songs would you include on the SOUNDTRACK and

why? Create a “song list” that includes the song, artist, and explanation

to pick songs to fit characters, setting, plot, and theme.

Imagine you are a director who wants to produce a modern day version

of The Outsiders film. What are the troubles of today’s teenagers? What

kind of story could you create using those troubles? Create a “movie

proposal” using similar themes from the Outsiders but a story centered

around the modern problems of today’s teenagers. Include a synopsis of your

film’s story, a character list with detailed descriptions, and a description of

the main setting of your film.
