English 10H
No Red Ink diagnostic.  Overview of Dialectical/4S close reading strategy.  You will find this under the English 10H page.  Use the sample model of a dialectical journal on the handout, as well as our notes and discussion over The Pedestrian and Fahrenheit, to construct at least 3 dialectical journal entries in which you compare specific elements (you need the exact text) of The Pedestrian to elements of F451.  You do not need exact text from F451.  The example we used in class as a model is the comparison of the police car in Ped and the hound in F451 and how despite their differences, their overall purpose is the same.

Don't forget Vocabulary Test 1 is Wed/Thurs!
