TODAY IN CLASS
In 1st and 2nd period, we got a good start on the propaganda presentations.  Fun and clever work, people!  Fifth period ran into a document camera glitch; Mr. Pazan has tended to the problem, and I hope we are all good to go tomorrow.

Groups got started on a new assignment, explaining what the three slogans of the Party meant in terms of the society of 1984, and also making connections to contemporary America.

These should be completed in class tomorrow and part of Thursday. They should not require individual homework UNLESS you are absent two days of the three days allotted to this work.
Don't forget that everyone should take individual notes even though only one copy needs to be prepared neatly and completely enough for me to grade.


FOR TOMORROW

If you haven't read the newspaper articles from yesterday's blog post, be sure to do so!  This is material to have in your brain for the last group assignment, for your essay, and perhaps even for the paragraph options on the final exam.

From this point on, homework time should be devoted to the individual final essay.  Copies were passed out in class both yesterday and today.  It is also available here:  1984 Final Essay (Individual)
