Personal Choices Reflection

In this reflective worksheet, students are placed in Winston Smith’s world and asked to make moral and personal decisions under the oppressive rule of the Party. Each scenario presents a dilemma similar to those faced in 1984, such as writing rebellious thoughts, trusting others, forming relationships, or confronting fear. Students must explain the choices they would make and consider the potential consequences. This activity develops empathy, critical thinking, and ethical reasoning by encouraging learners to evaluate human behavior under extreme political control.
