Fahrenheit 451 Final Project Ideas

Start brainstorming! Once you or your group decides on a project I will be handing out the designated rubrics in class next week.

Have a nice day off!

________________________________________________________________________________

Video/ Skit

Choose a scene from Fahrenheit 451 that is especially important. With a group (no more than 3) type a script for the scene and film it. Hand in a typed copy of your script and perform your skit for the class! (5 minutes)

Illustration

Many characters in Fahrenheit 451 are faced with life changing decisions. Keeping in mind our class discussion based around Howard Zinn’s quote “You can’t stay neutral on a moving plane,” create a portrait of two characters in the book depicting the choices they are forced to make and their double personalities. You must add at least 5 quotes for each character.

CD  Soundtrack

Make your own soundtrack for Fahrenheit 451. Create a playlist of at least 6 songs(Rated G), then burn a CD. The songs must be arranged in the order they would appear in the book. Create a CD jacket that illustrates the book (in your eyes). It should be creative and original! Type a list of song titles, along with the artists, where the song fits into the book (page number required) and explain why the song you chose fits that scene. Select one song to explain and play for the class.

Collage

Cut out magazine pictures, create your own, or print from the internet, pictures to make a collage illustrating the themes of the book. Include a brief explanation of the symbols and pictures you used. Your poster must include a minimum of 10 pictures.

Comic Book

Create a comic book complete with bubble style conversations(quotes included) showing the major events in Fahrenheit 451, in the order which they appear. Your comic book should be color, creative, and original! All major scenes and characters should be featured.

Wanted Poster

Create a “wanted” poster for one of the characters in Fahrenheit 451.  Include a drawing or cut out picture of the character, physical description, the misdeeds of the character, other information about the character that might be important, and the reward offered for the capture of the character. Must include 3 quotes from the book!

Current Events

Gather a collection of 5 current events from the newspaper or online, that reflect the themes or incidents that closely parallel those in the novel. Annotate the article, and write 5-7 sentences about each article and how they relate to the novel.

T-Shirt

Design your own T-shirt with an illustration about the novel. The illustration might be all about a specific character, scene, or an object from Fahrenheit 451(i.e. parlor walls, seashells). The T-shirt must include a minimum of 5
