2. Reader Response – Determining Importance
What is the important information you have to remember from your reading today? Write the important information and explain why you think it is significant.
Also, tell me about your break!

EXAMPLE:
In our last reading of 451, we need to remember that the fire truck pulled up in front of Montag’s house to burn it, and that Beatty knew all along that he was hiding multiple books. We need to remember this because this is a major turning point of the book where Montag’s doubts about his profession are exposed and so his life is going to completely change from how it has always been.
