Objectives
 CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.9-10.10 Write routinely over extended time frames (time
for research, reflection, and revision) and shorter time frames (a single sitting
or a day or two) for a range of tasks, purposes, and audiences.
 CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.9-10.7 Conduct short as well as more sustained research
projects to answer a question (including a self-generated question) or solve a
problem; narrow or broaden the inquiry when appropriate; synthesize multiple
sources on the subject, demonstrating understanding of the subject under
investigation.
 CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.9-10.3a Write and edit work so that it conforms to the
guidelines in a style manual (e.g., MLA Handbook, Turabian’s Manual for
Writers) appropriate for the discipline and writing type.
 CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.9-10.1 Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to
support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from
the text.
 CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.9-10.4 Determine the meaning of words and phrases
as they are used in the text, including figurative and connotative meanings;
analyze the cumulative impact of specific word choices on meaning and tone
(e.g., how the language evokes a sense of time and place; how it sets a formal or
informal tone).
Homework – T/P/S
 1) What do you think Bradbury’s quote
means? Do you agree or disagree?
EXPLAIN.
 2) If you were given the opportunity
to interview Ray Bradbury, what two
questions would you ask him?
 I AM
Warm up
 If you don’t want a man unhappy politically,
don’t give him two sides to a political
question to worry him; only present him
with one side of the argument.
 Your reaction:
______________________________________
______________________...
Warm up sample response
 Presenting one side to the story proves to be a point of
unhappiness. Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 showcases a
depiction of the state without freedoms. It acknowledges
that powerful impulses toward mindless conformity and
suppression of differences exist in the population itself —
that, on a deep level, many, many people want to be
"protected" by the state from the risk of being offended and
from the necessity of thinking for themselves. Beatty
reflects on the importance of likeness within society
explaining to Montag when “each man [is] the image of
every other…all are happy” (55). Beatty’s lecture however
contradicts Montag’s observations especially when it comes
to Mildred’s unhappiness.

Numbered Heads Together
Numbered Heads Together - A group of four is
established. Each member is given numbers of 1, 2, 3,
or 4. A question is asked of the group. Groups work
together to answer the question so that all can verbally
answer the question.
Teacher calls out a number (i.e., 2) and each two is asked
to give their group’s answer.
QUESTION: Scan your notes and identify what you
belief to be your most important quote/analysis. Next,
explain your reasoning with your group.
Most * Quote and Analysis
- Montag: “And I thought about books. And for the first time
I realized that a man was behind each one of the books”
(49).
 For the first time, Montag reaches a point of consciousness,
and explains his revelation to his wife, Mildred. This
passage shows his growing awareness, and ability to be a
free thinker. He recognizes how strongly books are tied to
people, and that they are more than words and paper. This
idea is further developed with the introduction of the exiles
who have each memorized a book.
