You are going to make a CD sleeve for your very own //The Outsiders// soundtrack.

You will complete this project using buhlerdocs.


 * Create a presentation, save it as Outsiders, and drag it into your writing folder.**

The sleeve will have the following items.
 * Project instructions:**


 * 1. Cover or slide 1**- include a picture or pictures that represents the novel, the title, The Outsiders, and give credit to S.E. Hinton.


 * 2. Backside of Cover or slide 2**- First describe the purpose of your soundtrack or album. What does the novel mean to you? How does the novel make you feel? What lessons about life did you learn? Then describe the music that you included on the soundtrack. How does the music and lyrics go with the novel? How does the song make you feel, and how does that relate to the novel? You need to make the connections between the novel and your songs. Finally dedicate your soundtrack to someone and explain why!


 * 3. Lyrics or Slide 3**- Include the title and lyrics of the first song of your soundtrack. The song needs to reflect an element from the plot of the novel. Here are some ideas or suggestions: setting, mood, tone, characters, relationships between characters, protagonist, antagonist, conflict, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution, or theme. Then include your explanation of how and why the song and lyrics reflect the element of plot! Elements of Plot for Narratives


 * 4. Lyrics or Slide 4**-Find another song. Include the title, lyrics, and the explanation of how the song and lyrics reflect the plot of the novel. Basically you are doing Slide 3 again, but with a different song.


 * 5. Lyrics or Slide 5**-Find another song. Include the title, lyrics, and the explanation of how the song and lyrics reflect the plot of the novel. Basically you are doing Slide 3 again, but with a different song.


 * 6. Lyrics or Slide 6**-Find another song. Include the title, lyrics, and the explanation of how the song and lyrics reflect the plot of the novel. Basically you are doing Slide 3 again, but with a different song.

Now that you have completed your soundtrack and CD sleeve, you will need to sell it!


 * 7. One Page advertisement or Slide 7**-Create one slide or a one page advertisement selling your soundtrack! You need to use the persuasive techniques that we studied this year. Use any or as many persuasive techniques that you wish. Think about all the magazine advertisements and billboards that you see. Make a great ad for your soundtrack! Remember your pictures, shapes, and colors are as important as your text!
