Fahrenheit 451, pages 3-68 BLOG #2

Hi Period 6 Students...

Using your list of allusions, please consult all of the allusions for part 1--The Hearth and the Salamander. Choose one allusion to discuss as it relates to the events/characters--elements in the novel. If the explanation on the handout is not sufficient for your complete understanding, please research your allusion on the Internet. Every student must choose a different allusion, so make sure you communicate before you begin to claim the allusion you would like to explore. Thanks for your hard work!!! :)

When we meet next class, I will share the rubric that I will be using for your BLOG posts after this first time, and I will be looking for feedback on that, so as you write, think about the process you have to go through and what should be measured to judge the work you produce for the BLOG... until then, consider the following...

I wanted to ask about "happiness" or ask you to look at the stark contrast between Guy and Clarisse in this reading... or even ask you to observe how the foreseen technology is so very much like our ACTUAL technology of today, or---how about that Mildred, huh??? but I will keep this one more open and free....so, here it is:

What caught your attention as you read this section. What are your initial reactions? perhaps to a scene, or a character or to the plot itself... This one is pretty wide and open... make it count!!!

:) Mrs. A.
