Today, we began watching the film version of 1984. I also informed the students that the test dates for this unit will be next Monday (Critical/analytical essay) and Tuesday (reading comprehension m.c.). I then began to outline how a totalitarian government gets into power (after chaos, charismatic, control of military), moving on to how they stay in power (fear, propaganda). We will finish the film and the notes tomorrow.
