George Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’ is a 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 (26 slides, approximately 2 hours teaching time) provides a step-by-step guide to writing an academic essay in response to the question:
‘Mr. Jones the Farmer and Napoleon both have terms as a ruler of Manor Farm/Animal Farm, in what ways can we compare and contrast their leadership style, choices and behaviour?’
This is a complete resource with no further work required from the teacher. Enjoy!
