Fahrenheit 451 Reading Checks & Reading Quizzes
While my students read a piece of literature, I give them "Reading Checks" to hold them accountable for the reading. These questions are not designed to be "tricky" or difficult. They exist only as a means to check whether or not students read the assigned pages; therefore, they are 100% plot questions. I use these questions to make sure students are on the same page (literally) and are ready to move beyond plot into analysis during class activities. As a side note, reading check grades are

TED Talk Viewing/Screen Time/Argument Analysis/Nonfiction Lesson
In this lesson students view and evaluate two TED Talks on a topic of interest. The topic of "screen time" is something that is relevant to most teens.
