 You have today and tomorrow to work on presentations.

Students will demonstrate an understanding of one or more themes from 1984 by creating a video/PowerPoint/performance (readers theater or dramatic interpretation) overview of the novel, which focuses on how that theme works; the video/performance will also include a discussion of why the theme is important. The project should contain at least six visuals, and at least four specific examples from the text. You should write this as a short essay.
