1 Name: Summer Reading Assignment 9 th Grade Honors English Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury Before returning to school, you will need to read Fahrenheit 451 to complete this assignment. This organizer will guide your reading and prepare you for the first two weeks of school, consisting of related writing assignments and discussions. This packet is due the first week of school. Learning Objectives as related to the Common Core State Standards: Cite the most strongly supports an analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. Determine a theme or central idea of a text and analyze its development over the course of the text, including its relationship to the characters, setting, and plot. Analyze how particular lines of dialogue or incidents in a story or drama propel the action, reveal aspects of a character, or provoke a decision. SECTION 1: Setting Primary Setting of the novel: Specific Detail(s): How does the setting impact the importance of Bradbury s message? Be sure to clarify what his message is first. Use RADE, including two excerpts with page numbers to support your answer. 1
2 SECTION 2: Key Characters Choose three characters, other than Montag. Find two concrete details (specific, text-based details or quotes) for each character which reveal important character traits and provide *commentary to support your choices. *Commentary: Explain your thinking about what the details prove and how they prove it. Name Concrete Details with page numbers Commentary 2
3 SECTION 3: Evaluate Reasoning In Fahrenheit 451, characters make significant decisions. Identify three characters and discuss the decisions they make and the consequences of their decisions. Name of Character: Decision: Consequence: illustrates the decision. illustrates the consequence. Name of Character: Decision: Consequence: illustrates the decision. illustrates the consequence. 3
4 Name of Character: Decision: Consequence: illustrates the decision. illustrates the consequence. SECTION 4: Characterization In a 7-10 sentence paragraph, explore the point at which when Montag first begins to change. Provide concrete details to support your explanation, combining text and paraphrasing to embed those concrete details in your response. Notice how the below quote is a fluent part of the sentence as a whole; it is not merely placed in the sentence awkwardly. Example: By the end of the novel, Huck declares that he can t stand the idea of being adopted by Aunt Sally (Twain 324). 4
5 SECTION 5: Theme Theme is an author s implied message to the reader about a specific topic. A theme will not be stated directly; instead, a reader must infer the theme through literary elements in the novel. A theme is not the same as a topic, which can usually be expressed in a word or two such as love, childhood, or death. The theme is an opinion the writer wishes to express about that topic. It can be expressed in at least one complete sentence that contains both the topic and the opinion about that topic. For example, the topic of a novel might be love, but the theme might be stated as Love is more powerful than family loyalty. In order to identify a theme in a novel, the reader has to think about all the elements of the work and use them to make an inference - or educated guess - based on details from the novel, concerning what the author is suggesting through the text about the topic. Commitment Compassion Courage/cowardice Cruelty/violence Disillusionment Dreams Thematic Topics Censorship Guilt Knowledge vs. Ignorance Hope Integrity Respect Responsibility Identifying a Theme: Select a significant thematic TOPIC (from the list above) that is addressed in the novel. Provide 3 quotations from Fahrenheit 451 that address your topic and explain what each quotation suggests about your topic. Then, come up with a THEME that can be supported by your Topic: Quotations that address topic Commentary to explain what your quote reveals about the topic Page Number: 5
6 Quotations that address topic Commentary to explain what your quote reveals about the topic 3. Page Number: Page Number: 6
7 Theme: In a complete sentence, explain what the author is saying about the thematic topic you selected for this section. Remember that the theme must contain both the topic and the author s opinion about that topic. Example: In his novel 1984, Orwell suggests that personal freedom is incompatible with a totalitarian government. In the above example of a theme, the topic is underlined and the opinion is bolded for the purpose of illustration. SECTION 6: History, Context, and Criticism Read two of the articles from the final section of the book, History, Context, and Criticism, one from EACH of the two parts. For publication dates, see the last page of the text. Article Title: Author: Author s Purpose: What was the main point the author wanted you to get from reading his work? Publication date: Factual Summary of the article: With which points of the piece did you agree/disagree with or find easy/difficult to accept? Why? Article Title: Author: Author s Purpose: What was the main point the author wanted you to get from reading his work? Publication date: 7
8 Factual Summary of the article: With which points of the piece did you agree/disagree with or find easy/difficult to accept? Why? Personal Response RADE: What do you think about these pieces? OR How do these pieces influence your ideas? Provide two pieces of text evidence from the article(s) to support your response in addition to at least one specific reference from within Fahrenheit 45 8
