During the next few weeks
you will be reading Ray Bradbury'sFahrenheit 451. However,
before you begin reading, you need to know about the activities that will be
expected from you.
 You will be
keeping a reading log. You will be expected to make entries in the reading log at
the end of each part. This book is divided into parts, not chapters. Your
teacher will explain how the Reading Log is to be set up. You will be expected
to read about 17 pages a day (this gives you 2 weeks to complete reading the book).
There may be daily quizzes on the reading. These quizzes may take the form of
true/false questions, a short essay, or multiple choice questions.
Before you
begin reading, go to the side of this page and click on the "Before Reading"
icon. There are a number of questions located at the link. Choose two
questions to answer. A link to the grading criteria is located on the "Before
Reading" page.
While you are
reading, you will be keeping the reading log, discussed above. There are certain
questions and activities that are to be considered during your reading. You can
either go the "During Reading" icon or click on the parts listed below:
Part One: The Hearth and the Salamander
Part Two: The Sieve and the Sand
Part Three: Buring Bright
Several
projects are available for you. You will do one short-term project and one long-term
project. You can click on the "Projects" icon to find out what they
are. It is strongly suggested that you begin working on the projects immediately.
Several LINKS will help you in the research component
of your projects. You can get to this page by clicking on the underlined word in the
previous sentence or on the "Links" icon at the side of this page.
