Keeping up with the times and 1984 Socratic Seminar

Great job today in class! Your questions and comments were relevant, thought provoking, and rooted in both the non-fiction articles and the novel 1984.

Please reflect on our discussion and post your Socratic seminar reflection. Remember to include:

 1.Based on this seminar, what are the most important points about this text?
 2. How does my understanding of the text connect to other things I’m learning?
 3. There are 3 main ideas I’m taking away from this seminar...
 4. What questions do I have as a result of this seminar?

Remember to be as specific as possible. For example, give a Socratic seminar SHOUT OUT, acknowledging something that was said by your classmates that made you better understand the text or maybe they said something that you never thought about before.

Your response should be about 2 paragraphs.Your reflection is due by Friday night (8pm). This deadline is to help you, so the ideas we discussed are still fresh and you can reflect on everything. If you want to continue talking about some of the ideas discussed let's use this space to continue the conversation.

For Monday, read pages 166-185. Please take notes.
