In each chunk you read, you will need to find 5 vocabulary
words. The vocabulary will be due on the same day as the
reading chunks.
They can be words you are completely unfamiliar with or ones
you are unsure of in that context.
You will fill out the table for each chunk.
In the first column you will write down the word.
In the second column you will write your inference based on
the context clues.
In the third column write the definition of the word

Cover art- IWBAT analyze cover art for details on
the story elements.
In the middle of your desks is going to be a piece
of cover art from various versions of Fahrenheit
451. Each cover displays a unique artist’s
interpretation of novel.
Along with each different piece of art are several
questions. You will take a sticky note with your
group and answer the questions together at each
station. Keep your sticky notes as you rotate
through out the stations.
You will get about 3-4 minutes per station.
We will share our groups thoughts in a gallery
walk.
