Why Orwell Matters & World Book Day

Next Monday, 23 April, is World Book Day! The UN established 23 April as World Book & Copyright day because on 23 April in 1616, literary titans Cervantes, Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega all died. 

Many students, teachers, parents, and other members of our community have contributed to our wonderful display of favorite reads in the library. If you have not had your picture taken with your favorite book, stop by to do so or send one in to [email protected] and we will post it for you. Many thanks to Mr. Sam Chabi for coordinating this great display!

As part of our celebration of World Book Day, students in Ms. Frederick's Grade 11 Language & Literature classes have been writing responses to the prompt "Why Orwell Matters" as they read & respond to the novel 1984. We would like to invite any member of our community to share their thoughts on Why Orwell Matters with us and we'll post your responses, too, on our upcoming display. Send them to [email protected] or tweet your response to @AISLSecLib using the hashtag #whyorwellmatters.
