English 10

We started off the day with a worksheet on adjectives and adverbs. We then went over the events that started the Russian Revolution and discussed some of its parallels with Animal Farm. After that, we read Chapter 2 and 3 and worked on questions.

After the break, we discussed animal stereotypes; we read an article on Pig intelligence, and then students brainstormed various stereotypes for animals represented in media. Orwell chose certain animals to represent particular people, and we will learn more about this as we continue the story. We finished off class with more notes on 'story terms' and watched the "Ironic" video.

Reminders:

• Animal Farm Chapter 2-3 questions due: tomorrow, Sept. 18, 2015
