By the last three weeks of senior year, a lot of kids are just done. They are ready to graduate, tired of school, and looking forward to one last summer before college and/or the real world. I need a high interest novel with real world applications to make the kids think. Exploring issues of freedom of speech and thought, manipulation of media, and government surveillance and control, 1984 is the starting point of a great discussion. It's a classic that fits the genre of British Literature, but its modern applications will get kids thinking about our world in a whole new way. With these books, media clips, and news articles, I hope to draw parallels between George Orwell's dystopian future and the world we live in today. How is it alike? How is it different? How can we as individuals exercise our minds while we are still free?
