This Big Read Teacher's Guide contains ten lessons to lead you through Ray Bradbury's classic novel, Fahrenheit 451. Each lesson has four sections: a thematic focus, discussion activities, writing exercises, and homework assignments. In addition, we have provided suggested essay topics and capstone projects, as well as handouts with more background information about the novel, the historical period, and the author.
