Fahrenheit 451: Informed Citizens

This lesson is intended to supplement the study of Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Students will read Part 1: The Hearth and the Salamander of the text and analyze Captain Beatty’s explanation of how a society devalued literacy and information over time, paying attention to the actions of the citizens and evaluating how and to what degree the citizens acted responsibly.

There are four lessons that can be used to complement a study of Fahrenheit 451 and allow for a new perspective by merging ELA skills with civics knowledge.

This resource uses a book that is on the Florida Department of Education's reading list. This book is not provided with this resource.
