homework — students should have answered the questions from the handout given when they received the book. Tomorrow: students should know the plot of Animal Farm. The essay may be re-scheduled for the 1st week of 4th 9-weeks.

Students should review the questions given in class today. We will discuss the questions tomorrow before beginning an essay Thursday. The rough draft will be due next Tuesday with the final copy due Wednesday.

Students should make a character list and include information/descriptions of the animals. Some animal may be grouped together — dogs, geese, etc). Also, using the notes from the pre-reading activity, students should compare the animals in Animal Farm to historical figures/people discussed in class. This can be added to the character list. All of this should be completed by Tuesday.
