Dead Words Assignment Due

Don't forget: Your Dead Words Projects are due on Tuesday when you enter the library (for orientation). Remember the rubric:


  • 30% for 5 vivid synonyms that show the varying uses of your assigned word

  • 20% for words that are large/bold enough to see from across the room

  • 20% for the cemetary theme

  • 30% for visual appeal and creativity

Make sure you write your name and class period so it is easily visible on the back side of your project.


I'm looking forward to seeing some high-quality projects!!!!

You are correct! Three quotations for each character (Montag, Mildred, Beatty, and Clarisse).

Is the Part II vocab on the test tommorrow?

Mrs. T's said...

No. Tomorrow, the only focus of the test will be Fahrenheit 451, Part II (there may be tie-ins to Part I as well). Read carefully.

How do we cite a picture from the internet for our project?

Mrs. T's said...

Cite a picture by including the artist's name, date of the picture, and source where you found it beneath the picture. Then, include all of the bibliographic information (i.e. artist's name, title of source where it was found, source information, etc.) on the works cited page. Hope this helps. If not, you can e-mail me at karen.thompson@killeenisd.org.

Would this be correct for a picture?

Hilliard, Nicholas. "The Pelican Portrait". Digital Image. Tudor History. 21 February 2012. Web. 5 May 2012.

Keep periods inside quotation marks, but otherwise, this will work perfectly. Good job!
