    The quiz might not give you the answers, because it has not being downloaded onto my computer yet - this means that you will have to find the answers yourself! You can handle that! Get the books out and get yourselves into teams... it's a race to see who can find the right answers first! Good luck!!! Mrs J x

    Once you have had a go at the quiz, year 9, have a look through the powerpoint above, 'Introduction to Animal Farm'. We have talked about how 'Animal Farm' is an allegory for the Russian Revolution: Charlie, what does that mean? Are the characters just animals? If not then who are they?
    Lenny - I would like you to go through the powerpoint and show the class who the different animals represent...
    Tasks:
    1. Take some notes... eg. Mr Jones =
    2. Draw (or write the characters' names if you don't like drawing) a page showing as many characters as you can fit on a page THEN label them with the REAL names from the Russian revolution - who is supposed to be who in real life? Title your page: REPRESENTATION AND ALLEGORY IN 'ANIMAL FARM'.

    When I get back, I can't wait for you to tell me who is who! It's a long time since I read this novel and can't remember! Love it when you teach me stuff year 9, so get swatting up!!! Looking forward to seeing you when I get back! Mrs J x
