I’d also love to have this recording, as I am teaching Bradbury’s story in my 8th grade English class this week. It is such a wonderful story with fantastic elements of symbolism and irony and just beautiful writing. A terrific story that provides somewhat of a challenge for eighth graders to practice reading strategies of visualization, figuring, and making historical connections.
It would be such a great find! If anyone does find it, please let me know. It would be greatly appreciated.
