If you didn't take notes while watching Citizenfour, you should record some responses to some of the questions I asked you to think about while watching Citizenfour. At the start of Thursday's class, we'll talk about your observations of the film's rhetoric. Also, you should work on your exploratory essay, or you should begin reading George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four. To avoid spoilers, do not read the inside of the book jacket and skip the Foreword. Simply begin with Chapter One.
Also, for more context and background on domestic surveillance in the United States, you might be interested in watching this Frontline documentary, The United States of Secrets.
