Strategy:
At the beginning of the unit, students will receive a graphic organizer with all of the literary terms listed above. There are twelve total and we will spend the second day of the unit going over the required vocabulary needed to understand and analyze this novel. It will be in a lecture format and students will fill in their graphic organizers as they follow along. Each term will be discussed during this lesson and allow students to guess to what their definitions are before delving into them. By the end of our novel, students will be required to give an example of a simile, a metaphor, irony, a symbol, an allusion, and an anti-hero found in Bradbury's story. As for the in-text vocabulary, I was thinking of defining all of those myself and offering it to my students as a reference sheet when they come across it and need help. There are plenty of other rich vocabulary words throughout the text but I found these to be important.
