Fahrenheit 451: Beatty's Speech

I began class with a short lesson on homophones and homographs, nice selections for the Lesson 2 vocabulary notebook. Working in small groups, students read and discussed Beatty's monologue in Part 1 of Fahrenheit 451 and gathered textual evidence for his main points in t-charts.
Sophomore counselor Mrs. Rightley talked to students at the end of the class period about the services offered by the counseling office.
