1984 Cumulative Assessment Task

When first creating my cumulative assessment task, I was mostly focused on what I would have liked to do when I was in school. 1984 is such an important text that it’s what everyone refers to when politics, power struggles, and interpersonal dynamics change. Identifying the themes in 1984 in real life is key to understanding the extensive power an entity of power has over its populace. I’ve also observed that students enjoy roleplay and debating with each other. This then becomes one of the key points of which I then built my project off of.
