Allusions Wrap-up and Word Roots Batch 3

QUIZZES COMING SOON!

Today, we wrapped up reading to page 106 (the end of part 2) in Fahrenheit 451. On March 7th and 8th, we will have a quiz on allusions as well as the major events, characters, and themes from this section of the book.

Allusions can be
•a name or a place
•a quote or part of a quote
•a situation or storyline
•a symbol
•a brief or passing reference

•aimed at the current readers of the time when the book was written.

Allusions are not
•illusions or ghosts
•identified by title and author
•spelled out explicitly for the reader.

We also jumped back into word roots today.  The third batch of word roots is pasted below in case you are absent or lose your handout.  The quiz for this batch of word roots will be on April 15th and 16th.  Make sure you study and work with them a little every day!
