Activity Overview


A fun way for students to express their understanding of a story, its themes, and main characters, is to create a movie poster. As students read 1984, they may find certain themes or moments that stand out to them. Have students create a movie poster, complete with a title, casting, and an image that conveys important information from the story. When students complete their posters, they can be printed out and hung in the classroom.
