Greek and Latin Roots

Reading a novel means encountering many unknown words and many words of which you have only a vague understanding. The situation and the surrounding text will provide some contextual clues about the meanings of unknown words. Knowledge of Latin and Greek roots can also help. It is possible for a reader to read and understanding a novel without knowing all the words. However, reading novels can significantly increase your vocabulary.

There are eight chapters in Section One of 1984. After you have read Section One, for each chapter, choose one or more words that are either unknown to you or that you are uncertain about. Choose words that seem to be important or interesting because of their context or frequency, or even because they sound interesting. Keep choosing until you have 10 words, which means you will have more than one for at least two chapters. For each word you choose, do the

following:

·  Copy the sentence in which you found it in your 1984 notebook.

·  Underline or highlight the word.

·  Describe what part of speech it is as used in the sentence.

·  Write down some ideas about what it might mean, and why you think so. Don’t be afraid to be wrong. You are just making an educated guess.

·  In your group, take turns sharing the words and sentences you chose.

Ask group members to help you define your words more accurately. Some will probably know your words better than you do. You will probably know more about other words that they have chosen.

·  Look up your words in a good dictionary, or online. How close were you and the group to the dictionary meaning?

·  Write your own sentences using the words.

Submit Tuesday 4/12 at the beginning of class.

Class work 4/12/16

Analyzing Stylistic Choices

The following activity will help you  think about why Orwell chose to represent the speech of some characters in non-standard dialect.

In Chapter VIII Winston visits a district that is inhabited by proles. The proles are generally friendly, but speak informally and use a lot of slang. Winston visits a pub because he wants to ask an old man about the past, especially about what the party says about capitalists. When Winston first sees him, he is arguing with the barman. He says “I arst you civil enough, didn’t I? You telling me you ain’t got a pint mug in the ‘ole bleeding boozer?”

Answer the following questions:

1. What does he mean by that in plain English?

2. Why doesn’t the barman understand?

3. Select two or three sentences spoken by the old man in the pub. Copy them into your notebook paper and translate them into standard English. Then discuss what effect Orwell was trying to create by representing the old man’s speech in slang and dialect. Are the old man’s words as effective in standard English?

Submit by Wednesday at the beginning of class.

4/ 13/16       Class work 

Summarizing and Responding The first part of a novel should do at least three things: 1. Establish the setting of the action, making the world of the story real to us in details and principles.

Establish the characters (especially the viewpoint character) in terms of personality, role or job, strengths and weaknesses, and other details. Set the action in motion by giving the characters things to do and problems to solve. It may also hint at some of the themes or big ideas that the novel will explore and develop. Review your marginal notes, sticky notes, word lists and answers to questions to solidify your understanding of Section One of the novel.  Write a paragraph summarizing Section One in terms of the setting, the characters, what the characters are trying to do, and any ideas you have about the themes of the novel. Due at the end of class.
