Orwell's 1984 Anticipation Discussion

After completing the Anticipation Guide for George Orwell's 1984, pick one statement on which to elaborate in an organized post. Explain your reasons for agreeing or disagreeing with the statement, and support those reasons with specific real world examples.

Make sure that you have a clear topic sentence for your paragraph. Please write down your name and period at the end of the post.

You will receive...
...a 10/10 for a post that demonstrates effort, originality, and depth of thought.
...a 8/10 for a post that demonstrates mediocre effort, some originality, and some deeper explanation.
...a 6/10 for writing something that relates to the prompt, but appears to have been completed last minute.

Welcome to the English IIA Blog!

Hi English IIA Students,

Welcome to your online discussion forum! Periodically, I will be posting discussion questions on this page as a class assignment. You will have a certain number of days to write a post that responds to the question(s). Instructions will be given in class and posted on this site.

A few decrees:
1. Respect all voices in the community. This is a virtual "safe space" for discussion.
2. There will be no put-downs or offensive comments allowed in this space.
3. Think for yourself. Form your own opinions. Don't steal someone else's ideas although you may use other people's comments for inspiration.

Inappropriate blogging will result in loss of points, student-teacher conference, or administrative action.

Happy blogging!

Ms. Kung
