Powerplay (sux) related texts (1 Viewer)

[Kiki]

Hi kids,

Am wondering if anyone can help with powerplay related texts as i have been searching for days and havent found anything useful or good enough (perfectionist)...i know that everyone asks this, but i would really appreciate it if anyone can help out. I already have a film and a speech, so im looking for a different medium (preferably not a novel)-an article or poem would be fantabulous...Thanx guys!

Have u tried looking at cartoons?
I used a political one last year - involved Bush and Howard
Try goin thru newspapers and hopefully u might find something relevant

You said not a novel, but you could really read this thing in an hour or so considering it's an early teen book - The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier.

And yeah, like Minai said, newspaper articles (esp now) are pretty good sources to use.

Try propaganda posters from the first or second world wars, they're genereally pretty useful.

Thanx heaps guys! I was thinking about doing The Chocolate War but i really dont have time to read antyhing-even something that short (Havent started French Lieutenant's Woman for ext eng!)..a cartoon would be good, but i have my heart set on an article, so i'll be checking out some of the suggested ones. Much appreciated!

Hey question - are we allowed to use other board texts for related?

Cos I'm doing Julius Caesar, but I really wanna use 1984 for related, is that allowed, or shunned?

 

[lizzy]

good question, i'd like the answer to that myself.

w/ related texts, how about try some newspaper articles about the Iraqui war.

I don't think they can stop you from using board texts as related ones; but I think they see it as being a bit of a lazy bastard But if you do it well, I don't see the problem with it.
