Web Quest Shut up and Sing and Fahrenheit 451
1)Go to the Wikipedia pages for the films. After reading the descriptions of these two pieces of literature, can you give your opinion on whether the Wikipedia entries are accurate. Check three of the links in blue at the bottom of the page to “make sure”...
(FYI - make sure you read the “Reception” part of the F451 entry about the job the dual role actor did while filming)
2) Speculate as to why we would be including these two pieces of literature in a course when we also study 1984. You should go and check the Wikipedia entry for this novel as well:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nineteen_Eighty-Four
3) What does the term “dystopia” mean, anyway? Can you give me another example, say
one from real life?
4)“Mindless entertainment would replace recreational free thinking.” With reference to the film Fahrenheit 451, and maybe SUAS, can you provide evidence for this statement?
5)Create a chart with the titles of the films on the top, and “Film’s opinion of free speech”, “Government’s opinion of free speech” and “How the lead characters resisted” on the left side. Complete the chart.
