1. Independent Reading
2. Reader Response – Making Predictions
What do you think is going to happen in your book the next time you read? Make specific predictions about what you think will happen next. You must use evidence from today’s reading to support your opinion.

EXAMPLE:
In my reading today, Montag met the intellectual hobos in the woods. I predict that Montag is going to start remembering parts from the Bible as he learns to how better use his memory. The evidence I have for this is when Granger says that everyone has a photographic memory and that we just need to relearn how to make use of it. Therefore I think Montag will slowly start remembering lines from the Book of Ecclesiastes, which he will then use to comfort himself and the others.

2. Vocab
(7.) Paradox (n): (1): A statement that is seemingly contradictory or opposed to common sense and yet is perhaps true
(2): One (as a person, situation, or action) having seemingly contradictory qualities
Captain Beatty is a paradox because while he is in charge of burning books in Fahrenheit 451, he is also a very well read individual.
