H-BAND: Fahrenheit 451 (pp. 3-21)

Please read up until p. 21, where Bradbury writes, "He walked out of the house into the rain" (21).

Choose a passage, and write your thoughts. You don't have to answer all of those questions-- they are just ideas to get you going. You can ask your own question and try to answer it, make a connection, or deliberate on a BIG idea that you see emerging. It's up to you.

H-Band: "The Veldt" by Ray Bradbury

For this blog post, you have a choice: Either ask a question and try to answer it, or just choose a line and discuss why this line stands out to you. 

For both options, you must quote an actual line from the text. One response is asking/answering a question about that line, while the other option is just diving into some analysis/observations/connections that you can make for that line. 

As always, make sure that you also respond to a classmate's comment and DO NOT repeat lines!! 

Make sure that when you respond to a classmate that you are adding on to what has been said. DO NOT only compliment or repeat their analysis, but add another quote or contradict what they are saying. 

Also, make sure that you comment before 11:59pm, and make sure that you use proper grammar and punctuation-- this is formal writing, with a conversational tone/structure.
