Period 3, November 28

Today was a big day in Smith's class! We were introduced to a project we will be working on called loggel. It is a website intended to be used as an online journal, but we will be using it to answer this primary question: what was going on in the world that influenced George Orwell's writing of 1984? We will be looking at the years from 1930-1950. That is all Smith told us. She left the rest up to us to decide as a class. We decided to break up into groups to look at different sections of years, and have editors to look at everyone's work and make sure that everything is correct, relevant, and flows together.

1934-1938 Jacqueline, Annabelle, James, Savannah
