Orwell and Dystopia

So what is Dystopia? Find out here. Also an introduction to George Orwell and how his experiences are reflected in 1984. A few weeks' worth of resources I used to teach a public school A Level class when I was training. Definitions of Dystopia, Fascism and Communism. Quotations from academics and various sources about propaganda and censorship. Also from Orwell himself about his life as a kitchen porter in Paris and the birth of his communist leanings. Make sure you read the notes because some slides are pupil-led analytical exercises. I must thank the creator of the image on the front pages but it's a hypnotic way to introduce each of the lessons.
