Our unit about 1984 and all of its real-world applications is well under way. Last week we continued with Book 1, and watched a documentary about conditions in North Korea. I've received many wonderful "World of 1984" projects including Police Patrol helicopters with tiny cameras, drawings of the fashions of the various political groups, compare/contrast descriptions, and many ominous pictures of Big Brother's face glaring out of posters ("Big Brother is Watching You!") I think they're helping me keep my other 11th grade classes in check!
We will continue our exploration of the novel this week, finishing Book 1 (out of 3 in 1984) and looking at our own FBI surveillance during the 20th Century.
