Last week, students wrote what I consider to be the most difficult essay of the year since it asks students to apply analytical reasoning in regards to two difficult texts. Click here to read an outstanding student example! After the essay, students continued reading Fahrenheit 451 and paid particular attention to the hero's journey and biblical allusions.
This week, students will finish reading the novel and watching the 1966 movie. Instead of writing another essay, I decided to try something different--collaborative stations. Through these stations, students will work collaboratively in partners and groups looking at symbolism, plot, character theme songs, and reviewing the novel (this will be to convince Ms. Cherry to either read the novel or not). Students should enjoy this a bit more than an essay, but it will still get them critically thinking, collaborating with each other, and writing (always my goals)!
