See yesterday's blog for an explanation of the poem assignment. A new typed poem is due Monday. Check that you have handed in two poems already and that I have edited them and returned them.
If you were absent, please pick up a copy of Animal Farm, a novel, from the library.
We took notes on allegory, satire, hyperbole, irony, understatement, sarcasm and wit. Get the notes from a partner.
While you read the novel, post-it note examples of all four items below:
1. Examples of satire
2. Rules for the animals on the farm
3. Exceptions to these rules and who / why they are breaking the rules
4. How is power acquired.
You will be writing an in-class essay on the topic below:
Discuss the reasons Animal Farm fails.
