Make a connection to the life or death or achievements of Joan of Arc using a passage (that in some way mentions fire/flames) from the book Fahrenheit 451. This is not meant to be a graphic description of her death, but instead a way for you to make an allegorical (see below) connection between the fiction you read in English, and the history you've learned in Social Studies.
Some guidelines:
1. The word limit for this writing assignment is 200 words at most. Please do not exceed the limit. The selection that you choose from Fahrenheit 451 does NOT count as part of your 200 words.
2. Please type out your response, and include the following:
A. Your name.
B. Your selection from Fahrenheit 451, written at the top, in italics, with a page number
C. Your written explanation of the connection between your selection and some aspect of the life or legacy of Joan of Arc.
D. The number of words in your open response (word count)
3. This is due Wednesday upon arrival to class for your social studies test. Please prepare accordingly.
4. You may research the life of Joan of Arc as much as you wish between now and Wednesday. The Wikipedia article found HERE is recommended. There is a shorter, opinion-based article found HERE as well.
