Welcome to our classroom Blog!!

I will be using this blog to post fun facts, activities, pictures, and other supplemental tools for the readings that we will be exploring throughout this course. Get ready for some grand romance, mythical adventures, the fiery pits of hell, and pigs that can talk!!!

... you Socialist PIG!!!


George Orwell's Animal Farm is one of the most layered texts we will be studying this year. It has heavy themes, motifs, and symbolic references that refer to very specific historic events. Each major character on the farm has a real life counterpart. Instead of having you all write papers analyzing these different aspects of literature, I would like for us to have an interactive online discussion about what you think Orwell is saying about socialism and people. Each student should write a short post analyzing one aspect of the book. It can be about a character, a building, a passage, or even just one quote. Each student is required to make one original post and respond to at least one of your classmate's posts. Remember to follow our blog rules!!!
