Evidence of Learning Document: Midterm Edition Day 5

Evidence of learning….Day 5. 

Deadline tonight at 11:59:59

Please check your email regularly from today right through to Monday. As I go through your document, I may need clarification or you may need to revise a mark. I will email you as I work through the document. If I don’t get replies, your mark will likely be impacted. 

There is some confusion about this overall expectation. This is a reading expectation. Sometimes we might assess our reading through writing. Other times we can assess our reading using other means like a conversation, a product (infographic or storyboard), or a graphic organizer. 

This expectation should have more clearly indicated that the evidence of learning was the graphic organizer for “On the Rainy River”. If you have already written an analyis, that’s fine. Make sure when you assess using rows #2 and #4 that you are not letting your writing interfere with what you are saying (your analysis) about the story. This expectation is evaluating your skill at “interpreting…and explaining how your understanding of literary theory helped you interpret a theme”. 

And if you haven’t written an analysis, submit your completed chart. Again make sure you are not summarizing, but that you are providing analysis.

HANGOUT DAY!!!

The hangout with St. Robert CHS will begin at 9:15 and last about 30 minutes.

After the hangout, we will assess the 1-Pager.

What is 1984?

Big Brother: symbolizes power, the state, the law, the face of the party, posterboy/figurehead; fear-invoking; it doesn’t matter if he actually exists.

A significant timeline in the novel:

Mr. Charrington sells Winston the “peculiarly beautiful book” with the “smooth creamy paper” that Winston uses as his diary of diatribes against the Party.

Mr. Charrington recognizes Winston, who is taking a little nighttime stroll in the Prole district one evening.

The two chat about the “young lady’s keepsake album” Winston bought, and then Mr. Charrington goes on to sell Winston a coral paperweight—represents beauty, the past, innocence, and Winston

Mr. Charrington shows Winston the empty room atop his shop, and explains that he and his wife lived there until she died. Now, he says, he is selling the furniture off little by little.

Mr. Charrington shows Winston the print of St. Clement’s Church hanging in the room, and begins to teach Winston the rhyme about the bells of St. Clement’s.

We find out from Winston that he has rented the room from Mr. Charrington so he and Julia can meet privately and away from the scrutiny of telescreens.

When Winston and Julia are caught, Mr. Charrington is the voice behind the print of St. Clement’s Church that says: “you are the dead.” The house is then surrounded by Thought Police, and Mr. Charrington finally reveals himself – without the spectacles and the cockney accent – as a member of the Thought Police.

The paper weight with the coral gets broken, and Mr. Charrington upon entering the room says, “pick up those pieces” to a uniformed man, making it clear who is the authority.
