Academic Vocabulary- Review Theme: message or lesson the author is trying to communicate (universal) Setting: location and time the narrative takes place in. Plot: the narrative structure that orders the events in the story (plot mountain, hero’s journey)

Characterization Characterization: a method of developing characters through description, internal thoughts and feelings, action and dialogue.

Foil Foil: A character is created to contrast and highlight opposing traits in another character. Most of the time, it is not protagonist and antagonist, but rather two characters on a parallel path throughout the plot. Johnny is Ponyboy’s foil in The Outsiders. Neville is Harry Potter’s foil in the Harry Potter series. Scar is Mufasa’s foil in The Lion King.

These questions will use skills like: apply, demonstrate, analyze, compare, justify. How do Harrison’s handicaps compare to George or Hazel’s? How would you analyze Vonnegut’s views on television?

Levels of Questions- LEVEL 3 How HOT is your question? A level three question is universal and is about a concept or idea that extends beyond the text.

Cover art- IWBAT analyze cover art for details on the story elements. In the middle of your desks is going to be a piece of cover art from various versions of Fahrenheit 451. Each cover displays a unique artist’s interpretation of novel. Along with each different piece of art are several questions. You will take a sticky note with your group and answer the questions together at each station. Keep your sticky notes as you rotate through out the stations. You will get about 3-4 minutes per station. We will share our groups thoughts in a gallery walk. Have students put up their sticky notes and have them walk through with their notebooks answering the next set of questions

Gallery Walk What cover had the most differences in answers? Why do you think that is? Which cover had the most similar answers? Why do you think that is? Write down an answer that never occurred to you while looking at the covers with your group. Which cover do you think best captures the novel so far?
