Re: so what courses did you get?
Man I have been so into 1984 lately...I finally get the whole 'Big Brother is watching' references which are...everywhere!
Course 1:"Just don't bring one home" (race relations)
Course 2:"Funny Bombs" or Giants at War
Course 1 was second to foreign policy, but oh well. can't have it all, i suppose!
Re: so what courses did you get?
haha, congrats on finally understanding the "big brother" references. speaking of which, check out this picture. its of my math teacher. pretty funny.
Re: so what courses did you get?
I was wondering if anybody had the same courses as me...i got the Life to Life course for course one (foreign policy was my first choice but it seems pretty popular) and under the radar for my second course.
abuttononurshirt and solitaire07, i did SEP two years too...as a rising 5th and rising 7th grader...this sounds kind of similar. One of my friends is going to SEP this year

Re: RE: re: 1984
Take your time with it (I guess there's no other way to do it, with 700+ pages). There's a lot to think about. Many of the dystopian elements are within the characters themselves, rather than solely manifested in the world around them.
Re: so what courses did you get?
Hey Jess-- I have the same courses as you!! (1: Digging on the Shoulders of Giants 2: Cultural Borders & Boundaries) My name is Nicole and I go to Gar-field High School in Woodbridge.
Re: so what courses did you get?
that's super cool trinawashere, good choice, though. I don't really recall much of SEP, it was 6 years ago, after all.
but gov school was totally the right choice. it's AMAZING.
But uh, yeah...I was a little smarty in 6th grade....funny how things change. ha.
Re: so what courses did you get?
