Today, we did a short quiz for Book One. We also reviewed the questions from the study guide. I also went over many quotable quotations from Chapters 1-4. I noted that the last two pages of chapters in novels are usually good places to focus your attention when searching for quotations. Orwell's prose style is very rich and it is relatively easy to find quotations in 1984.
Tomorrow, you will write paragraphs on three of the six "themes" on the Chapter 1-4 handout. You get to choose the themes you will write on AND you can bring in a brainstorm sheet for each one AND you may use your novel. Wow! Is Mr. Marshall getting soft, or what?
Someone probably won't be able to answer this in time, but are we writing a paragraph on three themes, or 3 paragraphs on one theme each?
ReplyDeleteSorry, Janine; I often get to the blog late in the evening, but not this time.
