1 Foothill High School Dodge Avenue, Santa Ana, CA (714) Fax (714) To: English 1 Honors Students From: Teachers of English 1 Honors Re: Summer Reading Assignment Congratulations on completing middle school. We have planned an exciting and challenging English 1 Honors class for you next year. You will have a myriad of opportunities to hone your skills in the academic disciplines of grammar, vocabulary, composition, critical thinking, and literary analysis. Your summer assignment is to read the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. As one of our goals this year is to train students to become active, involved readers; working with the text, annotating (writing in your book) is a practice we will especially emphasize. Consequently, we strongly, strongly recommend that students purchase their own copies of the books (however, this is not required, nor will it affect your grade) and begin writing and interacting with them ( Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, Publisher: Del Rey, ISBN # , $12.74). The book is available at any reputable bookseller, used bookstore, the FHS library and the public library. If you decide not to purchase the text, you can still annotate it by using post-it notes. We will begin class this fall with meaningful analysis and discussion of the text. The novel focuses on the growth and development of the main character, Montag, within a dystopian society. The ideas and themes of hopes and dreams, morality, mass media, censorship, conformity versus individuality corruption of humanity and society, the role and importance of propaganda and the responsibility of the individual to the self and society are examined and developed through the course of Montag s personal journey and evolution. Be prepared for a comprehensive exam on the novel on the second/third day of class. Again, we encourage you to interact with the text by taking notes, highlighting passages, posing questions, and monitoring your comprehension. You should read actively, remembering that your purpose is to study this novel; therefore annotating the text concerning topics such as: the author s purpose, literary devices, (e.g. symbolism, figurative language, characterization) themes, conflicts, style, and tone will help you in your examination of this rich and complex novel. Summer reading is required. Enjoy! Sincerely, English 1 Honors Teachers
2 Foothill High School Dodge Avenue, Santa Ana, CA (714) Fax (714) How to study a novel Studying on your own requires self-discipline and a carefully thought out plan in order to be effective. Keep the following guidelines in mind while you read Fahrenheit 451 this summer: 1. You will need to read the novel more than once. Start by reading it quickly for pleasure, then read it slowly and thoroughly. 2. If there are any words you do not understand, look them up in the dictionary. Use this as a learning opportunity to expand your vocabulary. 3. On your second reading make detailed notes on the plot, characters, conflicts, and themes in the novel. Further readings will generate new ideas and help you to remember the details of the book. 4. Some of the characters will develop as the plot unfolds. How do your responses towards them change during the course of the novel? What type of characterization does the author use? Are the characters static or dynamic; flat or round? Do they have an epiphany during the course of the plot? 5. Think about how the novel is narrated. From whose point of view are the events described? How does this point of view affect the plot? Does the point of view change? If there is a first person narrator, is he/she reliable? 6. A novel may or may not present events chronologically: the time scheme may be a key to its structure and organization. 7. What types of conflict are present in the work? What do they reveal about the theme and the author s purpose? What is the primary conflict? 8. What part does/do the setting/s play in the novel? Are certain events, characters, or conflicts associated with particular settings? (Remember, setting is the time and location where the novel takes place.) 9. Are words, images, or incidents repeated so as to give the work a pattern? Do such patterns or motifs help you to understand the novel s themes? 10. Identify what styles of language are used in the novel. (e.g. prose, poetry, slang, figurative language, colloquialisms, imagery, etc.) How does the author s diction reveal the tone of the piece? 11. What is the effect of the novel s ending? Is the action completed and closed, or incomplete and open? 12. Does the novel present a moral and just world? What does this reveal about the author s purpose? 13. Cite exact sources for all quotations, whether from the text itself or from critical commentaries. Wherever possible, find your own examples (concrete details) from the novel to support your opinions. 14. Always express your ideas in your own words. 15. Remember, there is no substitute for thoroughly reading the novel and formulating your own thoughtful opinions. Not only do merely using Cliffs Notes and Spark Notes violate the FHS Academic Honesty Policy, but also it robs you of the joy of independent reading, discovery, and learning that is so important to your maturity and academic growth.
