George Orwell was a novelist, journalist, essayist, and critic. His most famous novels, Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984), are satirical and dystopian portrayals of society. Orwell’s work continues to spark discussions about the dangers of totalitarianism, censorship, and the deterioration of individual freedoms.
To construct the author study poster, students will work in groups to research George Orwell (Eric Arthur Blair), transfer their findings to the poster boxes, color or paint the pieces, and assemble the final product.
The poster is made up of six pieces of paper, which can be printed on regular copy paper or card stock. Once taped together, the completed poster measures 28" x 15" and can last a lifetime if laminated.
