7th, 8th, and 9th grade students will enjoy the month of August by studying this classic novel by Ray Bradbury through analysis and discussion

OVERVIEW
    • This is a read-and-discuss course. Discussion revolves around analysis based on the chapters read.  Content listed below “CONTENT”
    • Students will read 50 pages (or 1 "Part"; Parts are around 50 pages long) prior to class each class
    • The class will engage in analytical discussion revolving around instructor prompts/questions

CONTENT 
    • Fahrenheit 451 provides several opportunities for rich analytical discussion.
    • Literary element instruction (as opportunity presents itself from the text)
    • In order to develop a well-rounded analysis of the novel, students will be instructed on the biographical information of the author (Ray Bradbury), as well as the historical setting in which the novel was written in (The Postmodern Literary Period).  Students will create connections between this information, and the content of the novel throughout the course. 
    • Class discussion will revolve around the following novel-centered themes:
        ‣ Censorship
        ‣ Time
        ‣ Family
        ‣ Distraction and fast-paced culture
        ‣ Conformity vs individuality
        ‣ Technology, humanity, nature
        ‣ Existentialism

TEACHING STYLE
    • I want my students to discuss, interact, and learn from each other! Every chance I get,  I will encourage them to respond to other’s ideas
    • I hope to facilitate conversation, protect think-time, and pose questions that provoke deeper thought based on the central text
    • I hope that students feel as welcomed to think as they are challenged in their thinking. 
    • While I will challenge students to think deeply, their perspective will always be encouraged and celebrated
    • I love interacting with my students!  I will be apart of the conversation as well 😁
    • Lecture-style lessons will be taught to ensure all students comprehend concepts and themes
