Assignment for March 29, 2007

Fun with Fahrenheit 451

First thing is to lighten up a little and test your knowledge of the book:

http://www.quia.com/rr/116799.html This is a quiz that is modeled after the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.

http://www.quia.com/cb/118301.html This quiz is modeled after Jeopardy and two students can play it with each other.


After you've done the game show quizzes(30 min.), you are to begin working on your outline for the essay we will write in class on Tuesday. You are only to work on the outline and perfecting it. You will write the essay in class, not at home. I will pass the essay topic and reading out to you.

Get started!

Assignment for March 8 - Due Today

Using the assignment we began on Tuesday, select a quotation from the novel that supports a point you are making.

After selecting the quotation, you are to interpret its meaning and explain how it supports the point you are making.

So you are doing three things:

1. Be sure about the point you are making (based on Tuesday's assignment);
2. Select a quotation that supports that point;
3. Interpret the quotation and explain how it supports your point.

You are to post this online. You are also going to respond to at least one other person's post and let them know if you get what they are saying. You MUST include your name in your postings!
