Prep for Nineteen Eighty-Four Critical Review
Steps to follow:
- Research George Orwell’s personal history. What drove him to write the novel in the first place
- Select elements of the world of the novel that you think have resonance with today
- Investigate some commentary on the comparable present day examples, mass media, fake news, surveillance, privacy
- Build a discussion where you explore the idea of Nineteen Eighty-Four as a warning and evaluate whether we should still take heed.
