2084 Dystopian Short Stories

After reading 1984 by George Orwell last trimester, students dove into writing their own dystopian short stories this trimester.

Students were required to limit the number of characters and the amount of time covered in the story in order to keep the stories more manageable.

Look for ways students used description in their writing. Can you highlight any particular quotes?
