NAME: PER.  \nPrompt: Dystopian novels are written because the author finds an aspect of society alarming enough to write a cautionary tale detailing what our world could become, should those issues go unchecked. 1984 was written 69 years ago, but one could argue George Orwell correctly anticipated some significant issues in our society. Are there problems in our society or government that Orwell seemed to have identified/predicted almost seven decades ago? Does Orwell use this novel to convey a relevant cautionary message about the potential damage to society as a result of those problems? Or is this simply a work of fiction that examines hypothetical problems rather than real-life problems? Carefully consider 1984, the other sources we’ve examined for this unit, and the articles you/your classmates found for your portfolios. Perhaps even the research you did on other governments will be helpful. Then, in an essay that synthesizes at least four of the sources for support, take a position that defends, challenges, or qualifies the argument that the themes of 1984 are relevant to current society and that the novel was prophetic in its vision of the future.  \nIn other words: To what extent was 1984 prophetic in its vision of the future?  \nYou’ll be writing an introduction, two body paragraphs, and a conclusion.  \nRelevant Materials:  \n1984 “Harrison Bergeron”  \nCurrent event articles (compilation of links is available online in shared doc)  \nOne Tin Soldier Rides Away (NPR story on the totalitarian class)  \nNorth Korea videos (and article we never got to in class, but is linked online)  \nThe New York Times article on increased sales of 1984/ “alternative facts”  \nAny of your research for your portfolio  \nYou must use the novel and at least one article. The strongest essays will use more than one article. You decide which additional sources would be best to include. Use at least 3 sources in total.  \nSynthesis Rubric Criteria:  \n1. Introduces topic, (explains author's argument)  \n2. Intro ends with thesis that addresses prompt and offers a clear, sophisticated opinion  \n3. Student voice drives argument with relevant CD acting as support  \n4. Sources are synthesized fluidly and correctly cited  \n5. CM advances argument and is appropriately developed  \n6. Diction is sophisticated and academic, writing shows maturity in style and syntax  \n7. Writing is error free in spelling, grammar and mechanics  \n8. Conclusion extends and connects to reveal thoughtful significance  \nTimed writing (first draft)= “I” OK, citations can be “source 6”Process writing (revised draft)= “I” is not OK, MLA citations  \n* foretells events  \nDystopian Unit-Synthesis Essay  \nSynthesis Essay Rubric  \n\n| Criteria | Mastery\u003Cbr>(100%) | Far\u003Cbr>Exceeds\u003Cbr>Standard (95%) | Exceeds\u003Cbr>Standard (85%) | Meets Standard (75%) | Below Standard (65%) | Far Below Standard (55%) | Omitted (0%) |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Thesis: Clear, sophisticated, opinion-based, addresses prompt (10 points) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| Topic Sentences: Clear, opinionbased, relevant (10 points) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| Evidence/support: Thoughtful, relevant, three sources (in total) incorporated fluidly\u003Cbr>(10 points) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| Commentary: Relevant, thoughtful, advances argument, reflective of author’s voice and work done in class, no“I”/ “you”(10 points) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| Writing conventions:\u003Cbr>Spelling, grammar, punctuation, syntax, sophisticated academic diction , legibility, MLA citations (10 points) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n\nBefore turning in your final draft, grade yourself on this rubric.
