Fahrenheit 541 is a dystopian novel written by Ray Bradbury, one of the most acclaimed authors of American science fiction and fantasy. This novel is often required reading for high school students because it discusses the themes of censorship, living in fear, and the importance of books. It is the perfect book for discussion and analysis because Bradbury's use of allegory and symbolism can be hard to appreciate and understand when reading alone.

Students will read approximately 30-50 pages a lesson on their own time. The prerecorded videos will emphasize characters, their motivations, theme, story plausibility, and inferences about what might come next. We will also refer to any symbolism within the story and discuss what the author intended to represent with those symbols.

Lesson breakdown:
Students will receive a worksheet and discussion questions for each video. There is one writing assignment to complete after the readings. I will post vocabulary words from the reading for the students to use in a sentence that showcases their understanding of the definition. I also post a link to an optional Fahrenheit 451 Kahoot! trivia quiz to further immerse students in this world. Kahoot! is a free resource. This quiz is completely optional.
