Do you have a sneaking suspicion that someone is watching? Has adulation of the 10th grade English teachers reached disconcerting levels? And why are sophomores suddenly referring to everyone as "comrade?"
Do not worry (much). The 10th grade Modern World Literature class has revitalized the Burke tradition of conducting a two-week, simulated game while reading 1984 by George Orwell. The propaganda posters are a touch unsettling, but all in the service of literary inquiry and Orwell's dire "warning against totalitarianism."
