ELA: Fahrenheit 451 projects

If you had to live in a futuristic society like the one Ray Bradbury depicts in his novel Fahrenheit 451, how would you survive?
Students in Mrs. Coderre’s and Mrs. Ward’s junior English class were asked to write about something of value that they would bring along with them to help them cope with that harsh reality.
Arianna LaChance chose the song “Humble and Kind” sung by Tim McGraw because of the positive message it gives about not taking life for granted. As part of her project, she played the song on ukulele for her fellow classmates.
If you haven’t heard the message of this beautiful song yet, give it a listen.
