In this discussion based class, students engage with the classic dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury during Banned Books Week with teacher Kayla Stierwalt. She guides the students using questions to get them to consider the book's themes. They consider why Ray Bradbury created a dystopian society where books are burned and how it reflects society's perspectives on books, ideas, and knowledge. Other topics to explore include knowledge as power, censorship, fear, social connection, and more.
