Description
Get your learners thinking! Our PRINT AND DIGITAL Fahrenheit 451 Novel Study Unit Plan has the activities and quizzes you need to teach a 7-week novel study — pre-reading questions, characters, vocabulary, final projects, non-fiction, and more. You’ll love the “print-and-go” activities in slideshow and .pdf, AND the same fun activities converted and optimized for digital learning (521+ pages, slides, & forms for all your print and digital teaching needs).
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ And don’t forget the easy-grade Google Forms!
Get your learners enjoying the rigor and creativity of our engaging activities built from best teaching practices and great for American Literature courses. We want to make your lesson plan journey easy, so you can focus on your expertise. This literature guide includes a curriculum map pacing guide that offers our day-by-day suggestion for how to plan out your weeks of fun activities.
Our pedagogy section explains the instructive idea behind the activity, gives ideas for implementation, and aligns the lesson plan to the standards. We’ve filmed some training videos on (1) how to assemble a Novel Analysis Packet that is unique to the academic needs of your learners and (2) how to effectively use our Quickwrite writing prompts.
To make your digital experience smooth, we include instructions (w/ screenshots!) of how to download and organize your activities in Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive. We’ve added easy-gradeGoogle Forms versions of each activity that auto-corrects their responses using a suggested answer key (which you can adjust afterward or modify your answer key) and compiles grades into a spreadsheet with learners’ names and class periods to make things easier for you to grade all in one place (some types of questions aren’t able to auto-grade, though, because of the short-answer format).

WHAT OTHER TEACHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS NOVEL STUDY RESOURCE
♥ I am OBSESSED with this seller. Created for Learning! has gone above and beyond my expectations. They provide thought out timelines, figurative language worksheets, Quickwrites that probe critical thinking, and more. I pointed out a mistake, and they are happily gifting me a recourse for my patience. What more could you ask from seller? Thank you Created for Learning! for making my job not only easier but more exciting as well. As a new teacher, y’all have provided me with resources that I do not have time to make myself right now.
♥ Great job on the F451 unit. I love this work and it saved me so many hours of work! I appreciate your hard work in creating it!!!! ♥ I came across this resource in a panic and it saved me. Very thorough, and it made it so easy for me to form my lessons around.
♥ Awesome resource! Thank you! I haven’t taught English I in 4 years, and this just saved me a ton of time in research!
♥ Used this entire package for our unit – totally worth it! Loved the final projects! The Quick Writes were a great resource too!
♥ This book study was SO helpful as a first year teacher. I had to read this book twice, and this bundle was so helpful in teaching it. My kids liked the quick writing prompts. I relied heavily on the vocabulary words, and my students loved the videos of the hound. (: Thank you so much for the time and effort into making this.
