Last week, students learned about 1950s life in order to better understand Ray Bradbury's mindset while writing Fahrenheit 451. They were able to make a lot of connections from the 1950s to life today and some interesting conversations developed. I always play "devil's advocate" and it was interesting to hear students argue their positions and then reevaluate their positions. This novel brings about a lot of deep discussions and their analytical skills soar--I am so excited for this! This week, students will read (and struggle a little bit) to make a connection to and understand Fahrenheit 451 on both literal and symbolic levels. I will be right there with them scaffolding their learning and helping them to make these insightful connections and analyze parts of the novel. As their understanding develops and they become more comfortable with the novel, they will be able to make many of these connections on their own and they will start to analyze everything on a deeper level.
