Vocabulary Context Clues

This worksheet presents four excerpts from Fahrenheit 451 that contain challenging vocabulary words. Students first infer the meaning of each bolded word using context clues from the passage. They then explain what the word contributes to the mood, imagery, or tone of the excerpt. Through this activity, students deepen their understanding of Ray Bradbury’s descriptive language and gain practice analyzing how diction shapes meaning. It also enhances vocabulary acquisition, close reading, and literary interpretation.
