Cover art- IWBAT analyze cover art for details on the story elements.

In the middle of your desks is going to be a piece of cover art from various versions of Fahrenheit 451. Each cover displays a unique artist’s interpretation of novel.

Along with each different piece of art are several questions. You will take a sticky note with your group and answer the questions together at each station. Keep your sticky notes as you rotate through out the stations.

You will get about 3-4 minutes per station. We will share our groups thoughts in a

gallery walk.
