Appendix A
Topic suggestions for other high school grade levels:
In the Pittsburgh Public Schools Fahrenheit 451 is the ancillary text for the first nine week grading period in tenth grade mainstream classes. In this case allow additional days for reading either as homework or during class.
For eleventh grade there are more possibilities since the junior year is devoted to the study of American literature. The unit could be used to accompany the study of The Crucible following or in place of my unit from last year, Arthur Miller's History Lesson: The Crucible as a Link from the Past through McCarthyism to Present-Day Terrorism.
For adaptation fora twelfth grade English class, plan the unit for January or February to coincide with either Martin Luther King, Jr. Day or Black History Month. You may want to exclude the portions on disability and prayer if you do it that way.
