The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury ISBN 9781451678192 (Updated 06 17 24)

*Double-check the ISBN to ensure that you have purchased the correct paperback version of the text (no eBooks or PDFs allowed). You may opt to buy a used book if the ISBN is correct and the book has not already been annotated (since you will be annotating your text). 

Unfortunately, Amazon has recently discontinued the version of The Martian Chronicles with the beige cover. Each version of The Martian Chronicles contains a slightly different collection of short stories. 

Please purchase the version with the red cover instead. You are not responsible for reading the short story called “Way in the Middle of the Air” in the version with the red cover; we will not be covering that short story in class. 

Assignment

Be sure to carefully annotate The Martian Chronicles as you read. Annotations should reveal your level of engagement with the text (do NOT simply underline and/or highlight). When annotating, be sure to 

• Circle unfamiliar words. Try to figure out their meanings through context, and then look them up in the dictionary. Record the definitions in your book.
• Summarize plot development and character descriptions in the margins.
• Take note of any quotations that reveal new meanings or character insight; these will be useful for class discussion and essay writing.
• Trace themes, symbols and motifs throughout the story.
• Mark any passages that confuse or interest you.

Assessment

In the first few days of school, you will be tested on your understanding of The Martian Chronicles. Details will be given in class.
