1. General BR
How does the introduction of Clarisse affect Guy Montag in F451?
Get a book.
Use your character trait chart to write an ACE paragraph about the characters.

2. Advanced BR
Take 5 minutes. Come up with THREE HOW or WHY questions to pose to the class. What do you want to know about F451?

With your partner, go through your assigned text pages and split the responsibilities on the next slide. Write the answers on the bottom of your Characterization Guided Notes. (10 m)
Share with the class. (10 m)

4. F451 Character Group Work Now, how can we apply what we know about characterization to F451?
1. Skim through and review your assigned pages. 2. Briefly summarize and give the context of the passage. 3. Explain who is primarily being characterized in the passage. 4. In your passage, identify examples of indirect and direct characterization 5. In the passage you read, which quote is most significant to the overall meaning of the work so far? 6. What insight do you gain about the characters in your passage?

7. Discussion about The Hearth and the Salamander
Montag comes to learn that "firemen are rarely necessary" because "the public itself stopped reading of its own accord." Bradbury wrote his novel in 1953: To what extent has his prophecy come true today?
Clarisse describes a past that Montag has never known: one with front porches, gardens, and rocking chairs. What do these items have in common, and how might their removal have encouraged Montag's repressive society?
What do the firemen “do” for a job?  According to pages 3-4, what does Montag think of his job?
During his conversation, Montag tells Clarisse that "You never wash it off completely" referring to the kerosene. What could this mean symbolically?
Why do you think that Bradbury would introduce Clarisse before Montag's wife, Mildred?  How is Clarisse different than Mildred?

8. Discussion about The Hearth and the Salamander
What is the mechanical hound and what is its purpose?  What is the hound's reaction to Montag?  What does this foreshadow?
On page 40, Beatty reveals something very important about himself and his knowledge. What is it?
Who is Mildred's "family"?  How does she spend her days?  How does she fall asleep at night?
What has happened to Clarisse? How did it happen? What is unusual about the way Mildred told Montag about Clarisse?
Read pages very carefully. They contain great truths about our world. List three things Beatty talks about in his speech to Montag that are true about our world and elaborate on those topics.

9. Beginning a Socratic Seminar
Pull out your HOW or WHY questions.

10. Socratic Seminar
In this unit, we will analyze F451 and literary elements.
You will be expected to participate in Socratic Seminars after each part for a grade. You will come prepared with questions and provide thoughtful insight and discussion on the book. Silence = 0%.

11. Socratic Seminars
What are they? Class discussions where you (the students) are in charge of the questioning, discussing, and answering. (I’m on the outside.) What do you do to prepare? Watch the assigned films with a purpose. Create three questions that you think are important to discuss with the class. (Use FIG.)

12. FIG Questions
F-Factual question. One question should be a factual question that we can answer easily form the film. No yes or no questions. They should all be open-ended. (Example: Which toy is Andy’s newest toy?)
I—Inference question. One question should require your classmates to infer what has happened. (Example: Why did Woody feel so threatened by Buzz?)
G—Global question. One question should require discussion to make a broader connection beyond the place. (Example: How does this film show the feelings kids have about possessions and how these feelings change over time? Is it any accurate depiction?)
***If you are having trouble creating a global question, then develop two inference questions instead. We will practice with that today with an organizer.
