Submit one (1) of each of the following by Saturday, May 5. I will pick several and post them to the website Sunday evening (5/6). Be prepared to discuss them in class on Monday, May 7th. Questions may come from any section of Fahrenheit 451. Include answers with text support for each question.
WORLD CONNECTION QUESTIONS
Write one question connecting the text to the real world.
Example: What would your reaction be if books were banned
CLOSE-ENDED QUESTIONS
Write one question about the text that will help everyone in the class come to an agreement about events or characters in the text. This question usually has a “correct” answer.
Example: How does the Mechanical Hound work?
OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS
Write one insightful question about the text that will require proof and group discussion and “construction of logic” to discover or explore the answer to the question.
Example: Is the world in the novel a better place (or worse) for having reading prohibited?
UNIVERSAL THEME/ CORE QUESTIONS
Write one question dealing with a theme(s) of the text that will encourage group discussion about the universality of the text.
Example: How does adversity inspire/force someone to be heroic?)
LITERARY ANALYSIS QUESTIONS
Write one question dealing with HOW an author chose to compose a literary piece. How did the author manipulate point of view, characterization, poetic form, archetypal hero patterns, for example?
Example: "Montag" is a brand of paper; "Faber" is a manufacturer of pencils. How does Bradbury's naming his characters after these things enhance the story?
