1984 Journals

Journal prompts for before and after the reading of each chapter of 1984. Each pre-reading journal prompt is designed to prompt students to begin thinking about important themes and concepts they will encounter in the chapter. After reading each chapter, students are given a prompt to help them process and analyze what they read and make meaningful connections to the text.

The journals are intended to accompany the text after students have already completed one of the Proceed With Caution units and want to read an additional dystopian novel. For example, if a student starts with 1984, they should complete the entire text set, found here. Then, if students are interested in reading Fahrenheit 451 or Brave New World, we do not recommend purchasing another complete text set, as all assignments other than the journal prompts are the same for each unit. Instead, we recommend simply purchasing the digital download of the journal prompts to accompany the desired text.

Example: If students want to read all three books in the Proceed With Caution units, Fahrenheit 451, 1984, and Brave New World, purchase the text set for the 1984, and then purchase the digital downloads for the journals for Fahrenheit 451 and Brave New World.
