Dear Seniors,
How are things going? How much reading have you been doing? I hope you are enjoying the adaptation of 1984 and learning a lot from it. As I told you in class, you have the opportunity to discover the term "Orwellian" and use it correctly.
Please watch the following video using subtitles to understand the origin of the word and its correct use. You can also learn about other important information about the novel. Then, answer three of the questions below in a comment.
You can watch the video as many times as you need, stop and replay if necessary. Please do not forget to write your name in your comment. Have fun and learn a lot!
Remember BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING👀... nah, just kidding!
