Research Prompts for 11/29

As we've done in the past for reviewing, each group will create a discussion-generating activity for the next Tuesday's class.

The activity should engage students in speaking about the novel Nineteen Eighty-four.  The activity will be most beneficial if it prepares them for writing the Week Fifteen Exam. The activity should lead the students to consider the themes of the course. The activity should require a substantive knowledge of the course materials. The activity should last approximately ten minutes.

Research Prompt 1

Game that tests knowledge. You guys have done this in past review periods.

Research Prompt 2

Story that puts the novel in a simple terms. Think of The Brothers Karamazov comic. Acting it out dramatically or drawing it could be fun as well.

Research Prompt 3

Debate where two sides argue to understand a central theme of the novel.
