Periods 3 and 4:
Text: Fahrenheit 451, pages 31-41
Objective: Identify emerging themes, discuss the importance of significant events on the development of a character.

To begin class, you were asked to come up with ONE word/idea that is important in Fahrenheit 451 (for example, power). Then, your group/table passed that along to the next table who sought to answer the question: "What does this story say about ________ (power)?" or "What do you think Bradbury is trying to tell us about ________ (power)?"

Discussing the emerging themes will help us track the development of them as we read on.


After, we read/discussed pages 31-41.

There is NO TASK for your notebook today, but you should read and pay attention to these questions. Also, make sure you are taking notes / catching up if you are absent.
