Extra Credit Opportunities

Note: both options will be due by our term 2 deadline on Friday, January 11th. You may do both options.

Option #1: Viewing and reflecting on the film Good Night and Good Luck.

Now that we have read and studied Fahrenheit 451, take a look at a movie (Good Night and Good Luck) depicting some of the events that influenced author Ray Bradbury. Click here for the instructions and assignment.


Option #2: Going to BYU's Museum of Art (MOA) and viewing the exhibit "Think Flat".

Our discussion and analysis of Fahrenheit 451 can go one step further with a type of "mirror factory" in this exhibit!  Warhol created duplicate images that echo Mildred Montag as well as other themes of reflection and identity present in our novel. You will be writing a personal narrative next week and can come see and be inspired by visual narrative portraits of  self expression and identity. Come explore these ideas and visit the exhibit currently open at the MOA on BYU's campus.  Coco and I will be at the MOA on Friday, January 11th from 5pm - 7pm.  If you come and see us and chat about what you see and think about this exhibit you will get some extra credit before term 2 ends.  If you can't make it at this day or time, but would like to attend, go at your own convenience, pick up a postcard of the exhibit and come talk to me about what you saw and how it connects to our studies!
