Critical Thinking- Changes on the Farm
Chapter 4 is the high point of the animals' lives on Animal Farm, the time at which things are at their best.
Napoleon and Snowball have promised that Animalism will make the lives of the animals far better than they were. In your opinion, are their lives better?
Part 1
Create a two-column table, and head one 'better' and one ' worse/no better'. Under each heading, list specific details of how their lives are better, and how their lives have not improved or have become worse.
Part 2
THEN, imagine you are one of the animals on the farm, it is time for the Sunday meeting, and you are given the opportunity to share your concerns about life on Animal Farm. Prepare a short speech that states how life has changed, what you think about the new farm life, and your suggestions for improving life.
Your classmates will present their point of view which may contrast with yours. Imagine what others may say, and think about how you can prove them wrong.
- Record a 2-3 minute video sharing your opinions.
- Post your notes from part one
