"War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. And Big Brother is Always Watching.

"George Orwell's classic novel 1984, is the story of one man's nightmare odyssey through a world ruled by warring states and a power structure that controls not only information, but also individual thought and memory. A minor functionary named Winston Smith joins a covert brotherhood and pursues a forbidden love affair against the cold, gray backdrop of the Republic of Oceania - only to become a hunted enemy of the state... and of Big Brother.

"Now, more than half a century after it was written, Orwell's prophetic, haunting tale of conformity, repression, and identity strikes a disturbing chord. As we follow Winston Smith through his rebellion, imprisonment, torture, and reeducation, we witness firsthand the destruction of the truths and freedoms that makes us who we are, and the creation of a world where black is white, two plus two equals five, and evil is good".  - Citation is provided below!

In our class, students will have the opportunity to read George Orwell's controversial and intriguing dystopian where truth cannot be trusted and where everything is monitored from everything you say, do, and even think. Imagine a world where not even your most secretive thoughts and emotions can be exposed at any moment. It is uncomfortable, unthinkable, and yet, possible. Orwell's terrifying novel foreshadowed the shocking history of the Soviet Union, the Cold War, and many of the events and technologies of our modern society. Our discussions in class will seek out these connections together through a study of historical events, current events, and literary analysis to show the importance of this novel and the future it is ultimately warning us about. Our class will participate in group, Socratic discussions, (optional) mini-writing prompts and assignments, and an optional final constructed response at the end of the course which analyzes the novel, its characters, its events, and its messages. If they do the writing components, each student will receive complete feedback on their writing (grammar, organization, argument, etc.) so that they can see how their writing can improve!

Listed below is a weekly schedule for our class. While the topics and skills will be covered, please note that some of the topics or skills might overlap into multiple weeks to make sure that students are getting the most out of the novel and our discussions. If you have any questions about that, please feel free to reach out!

Orientación para padres
1984 is a controversial novel with many intense topics including violence, physical intimacy, language, drugs, and drinking. We will discuss these in class by addressing the topics and recognizing them as issues within the novel. The novel is dystopian so it is set up to draw attention to these issues by showing the reader why they are a problem, the effects that they can have on humanity and society, and by helping the reader recognize that these issues need to change. We will focus on these aspects of the message. Attached is a CommonSenseMedia Parental Guide for the novel. Please read through the topics and reach out if you have any questions or concerns! - https://www.commonsensemedia.org/book-reviews/1984

I have taught this novel in schools before as whole-class readings and as independent book studies. I also teach this novel in a classic literature class on Outschool. It is the most popular novel that students choose in this class (chosen by both upper middle school and high school). In addition, I teach Animal Farm which is also by George Orwell. Both of these classes can be found at the links below. Feel free to read through the courses and the reviews for those classes to gain an understanding of the stories!
