Below, I've listed some possible F451 project ideas. I haven't finished going through your ideas on your index cards from Friday, but this list is a start. If you start your project over vacation, please email me before you begin so I can give you some guidelines.
1. Compare F451 to Hunger Games (Video? Power point?).
2. Write and perform a rap or a song.
3. Make a "mocumentary" about the (imaginary) filming of the story.
4. Create a scrapbook which includes personal artifacts of the characters from the book. You can print the handout below.
5. Perform a monologue for several characters in the book.
6. ABC Power Point, Poem Book, or ???
Demonstrate your knowledge of
F451 by using every letter of the alphabet to explain an aspect of the book. Include character
names, events, character traits, places, objects, allusions, themes, etc.
G is for Guy, who transforms from a book-burning rule follower into
a man who wants to preserve books for the good of civilization. (You would also include creative artwork or graphics, depending on if your work is by hand or on the computer.)
7. Newspaper or Magazine
Create a newspaper or magazine for Montag's society. The newspaper may exist
in the mainstream society of F451,
or may be an "underground" publication (a publication in opposition to the government.
The final product should be at least four pages, not just a front page. A magazine would be longer.
The image below is one way to set up a front page, but it's just an example.
