Day 1: Delving Deeper into Human Experiences in 1984

Learn how to unpack the significant human experiences within 1984 and explore how Orwell’s form, structure, and language reveal complex insights into humanity.
Students will be guided through analysing the assessment stimulus, rubric, and conceptual human experiences, with strategies for linking these ideas directly to the prescribed text.

Day 2: How To Find a Related Text and Ace Your Multimodal Presentation

Discover how to select, analyse, and connect a related text that meaningfully complements 1984. Students will learn how to structure, script, and present a multimodal response, integrating visual and verbal elements to meet top-band criteria.

In both sessions, students will engage in guided practice, explore model responses, and receive tailored feedback to strengthen their understanding and confidence ahead of the assessment.
