What Are You Wondering About? March 18, 2019

Focus: What are you wondering about in the early pages of Fahrenheit 451?

If you were absent last Friday, please sign up for fishbowl discussion and leadership dates.

1. Warming up with three good things and an adjustment to the schedule (I'm going rogue!)

2. Explaining how Academic Character works for this unit and our minimalist use of screens

3. Reading our way back into Fahrenheit 451 and indulging your questions: What are you wondering about?

• With your grid groups, share your questions and eliminate any redundant ones.

• Organize your questions into three categories:

• Level 1 (understanding the plot)
• Level 2 (making inferences, connections, analyses, etc.)
• Level 3 (stepping outside the text to ponder a bigger, more universal topic)

• Select your BEST QUESTION to share with the class (and have a back-up in case another group has your same question).

4. Offering you reading journal options and time to read; signing up for reading conferences
