Finish reading Part I of Fahrenheit 451. Remember to interact with the text by:
• Underlining lines from the text that you find particularly interesting, relevant, meaningful, puzzling, provocative, compelling…..
• Underlining parts/ words you do not understand. Put a question mark next to these parts/ words.
• Writing notes/ questions in the margins where you record your thoughts/ reactions to the parts of the story. (ie, What do you think of the characters? Of their behavior? Of the society in which they are living?)
• Marking any “brushstrokes” or other stylistic devices you find.

In your Nexus, make a journal entry after you complete this reading. The response can be typed and placed in an envelope pocket in your Nexus or simply written in the Nexus. Focus on interesting metaphors or symbols, the way the characters are portrayed, the themes of the book, and/or techniques Bradbury used to achieve his “so what.” Explore ideas and the craft of writing. This reflection should be a minimum of 20 sentences and needs to be completed before the “Around Table” discussion tomorrow.
