This week we prepare for the writing of your Feature Article.Now that you’ve finished reading Nineteen Eighty-Four, we’re progressing well with our analysis and discussion, expanding on our understanding of the dystopian genre of which this text is a seminal example. On days when you have an English period, you can expect an update on this site to guide your learning – this will also be emailed to you every morning at 7:00am. Often we’ll be conferencing online, and this schedule will always be posted at the beginning of each week.
