This lesson focuses on the idea of implementing false consciousness, and the character of O’Brien. The students will explore how O’Brien uses torture and fear to brainwash and control Winston, and in the end, students will write a paragraph analyzing O’Brien’s character.
This could be a standalone lesson, as one slide explains the plot beforehand, so students understand the events of the story so far.
