Politics: Day 5
Do Now: Which group (the pigs, the dogs, or the worker animals) has the most power and control? Why?
In chapter 3, we learn about 3 perspectives on literacy by the animals. The pigs become very literate and learn to read and write fluently. The dogs also 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.
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?
Content: Chapter 3 review. Vocabulary in context review. Punctuation review.
Class Activities: Read end to chapter 3, Reflection on power and control, Connection of power in high school.
Homework: 1) Finish reading chapter 4
2) Write a story or a poem about power. It could be a reflection of power in the world or power that you have seen or experienced in your own life.
