Reading Plan
Fahrenheit 451 is a short book and I think the class can safely finish it within three weeks easily. I feel as though Part I would be fun to read out loud in class during the week switching between me reading it and having volunteer students and popcorn reading in the class. Part II would be relegated to reading at home. Students would have a hardcover copy to take with them between home and school as well as a digital copy (epub/pdf). To switch it up in the end, I think Part III would be fun to listen to as a class. I could post the mp3 of that specific section to our shared digital class (Google Classroom, perhaps?) for any absent students.
