Description
- Overview:
- In this lesson, students who are reading Animal Farm, by George Orwell (All rights reserved-Copyright), will evaluate the behaviors of different animals. Students will then research the individuals/groups represented by these characters and they will start to make connections as they think about why the author chose certain characters to represent certain people. Once students have a better understanding of the characters and who they represent, they will choose one character and trace the development of that character throughout the text.

Standards
Evaluations
No evaluations yet.
Alignment to NC Standards: Yes.
Evidence of Learning Objectives: Yes. And there are many opportunities for formative and summative assessment as you go through this unit; however, this unit doesn't provide those.
Evidence of Assessment Strategies: Graphic organizer for the students (Not provided, but could be made)
Strengths: This lesson is ongoing and could last the length of the book. Uses technology and independent student tasks!
Opportunities: There is no suggestion of when to start this lesson, and it may be best done towards the beginning of the book. Students without Internet access at home might have a hard time watching their animal via a web cam, but that could be addressed during class like this lesson suggests.
