Day+2

The Combined Voice of Opposition (Day 2) Week of July 29, 2013

You and your group are coworkers in the Fiction Department of the Ministry of Truth. Much like Julia, you are in charge of producing items for the Proles.


 * Today is different, though… **

You have found out that you have free access to the Fiction Department for 50 minutes due to a glitch in scheduling. In addition, the text that you produce will go directly to your fellow Party Members, so you have a chance to send a message – to combine your voices in opposition to the system.

**Stipulations: ** **Final Thoughts: ** Remember the importance of this opportunity – you live in a world of strict censure and this may be your only chance to give hope to your fellow human that they are not alone in their struggle. Provide advice, demonstrate empathy, and speak to the people to give them strength. **Good luck, Members of the Party! **   **//Now go to your Day 2 Team page and start your act of opposition! //**
 * The machinery is automatically set to “**Poem**,” so your text cannot be prose. You can **choose the rhyme scheme**, but the poem must be in **iambic meter**. You may **choose between tetrameter and pentameter**. For a refresher of these terms, see the Student Resources Page.
 * **You must write four stanzas**. The number of lines in each stanza is the same as the number of students in your group.
 * **Each stanza should play some role in the structure of your message** – think introduction, body, and conclusion. Work with one-another to compose the outline of each stanza first – know what you want to say before you say it!
 * **You must convey a positive, solid group message** – that is your best shot at changing the course of your society’s history.
 * You may **NOT** use Text Speak or Newspeak - remember these forms of speech are designed to reduce the thought patterns of individuals in the system.
 * **Compose the entire poem on your team’s Day 2 Team page, and use colors to demonstrate each team member’s contribution. **
