We'll continue into the world of 1984 this week and research
conditions and current news about North Korea -- sharpening research skills such
as finding credible sources and using MLA citations along the way.
We'll end the week by watching a VICE documentary about North Korea,
taking notes and gathering evidence for the final essay the class will
work on in early February. As a guideline, students should pick out and begin reading their choice of dystopian novel/ historical account for independent reading this week.
