George Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’ is an important text that introduces the students to politics and the corruption within politics, and therefore remains a significant novel for post-modern society. I have taught this text many times over the last twenty years and I have used this specific resource (revised in 2021): to lead my teaching in class, as a distance learning material with SKYPE lessons, as a homework assignment and even as a tool of revision – All have worked well for the students!
This dynamically presented PowerPoint lesson (23 slides, approximately 90 minutes teaching time) is an introductory resource that supports the text, and includes: a starter activity, a life and career biography with searching questions, analytical tasks connected to the themes, and historical research questions connected to the characters, an extension task, a homework assignment and a plenary. This is a complete resource with no further work required from the teacher. Enjoy!
