Brit Lit:

Today:

We talked about the recent word change in the classic Huck Finn. We discussed how changing and eliminating words from books is very 1984. We talked about the implications of a society that does not pay attention to deleting information.

We began your Wilson Journals. Three rules to follow:
No caps. Run-ons. Improper English.

We defined News-speak in the novel. I broke you into small groups and asked you to list 15 examples of News-speak and define what they are used to describe.

HW: Please read to pg 88 in 1984. Please have your aged paper if you forgot last night.
