Politics: Day 5
Do Now: In chapter 3, we learn about 3 perspectives on literacy by the animals. The pigs become very literate and learn as much as they can. The dogs can learn, but only care to learn the seven commandments. The worker animals have a hard time learning to read and write and have little time to study because they are constantly working. Which group (the pigs, the dogs, or the worker animals) has the most power and control? Why?
Critical Thinking Question: How can literacy be used as a strategy to control others? What happens when someone else interprets a text and tells us what it means instead of interpreting it for ourselves?
