Politics: Day 6

Do Now:  The animals had been wondering what was happening to the milk and the apples, which were seen as special food delicacies.  We find out at the end of Chapter 3 that the pigs were taking the milk and apples all for themselves.  Do they deserve this special treatment?

Critical Thinking Question: How are the pigs manipulating the other animals?  Do those in power deserve better treatment? Is everyone equal on Animal Farm?

Content: Review Chapter 3 and begin Chapter 4

Class Activities: Class reading, Hyperbole Writing, Discussion of propaganda

Homework: Finish reading chapter 4. If you were an animal on Animal Farm, would you be willing to risk your life for animal independence?
