1984 audiobook
Welcome to our unit on 1984 by George Orwell. This week we will be continuing our pre-reading work by watching Citizenfour, the film documentary by Laura Poitras about Edward Snowden that won this year's Best Documentary Oscar award. We are watching via HBO. Because it's so recent, this is the only site that I have found it available for public viewing.
1. Watch documentary. After each viewing (45 minute segments) write a brief exit slip on your reaction to the documentary. You can write a reflection on what he's doing, why he's doing it, the interviewers, the style of the filmmaker and its effect on you or something else. You will write 3 exit slips which will total grade in the 10% category.
2. Read the 1984 Anticipation Guide. Choose one of the statements you feel strongly about and write a 500 word essay. Use three specific examples in the world to support your stand. (40%) Type and post to turnitin.com (10%)
