March 13th

1. Refresh on the definition of allegory. Remember the second layer of meaning derives from the entire narrative working on a representative level. Take in the whole plot and think about what message is coming from the actions.

2. Work through the following questions in order to see how the allegorical meaning is developed in Animal Farm. 

Animal Farm as Allegory

For Tuesday:
1. You will need to come to class with a complete outline that is designed to answer the question:
How does Animal Farm function as an allegory. 

We have done plenty of prep work. You should have notes/evidence to pull from. Remember that this prompt is designed for you to EXPLAIN HOW. When constructing your outline, consider the following:

• What order will best support my explanation?
• Where should I include a definition of the literary device? 
• How do I bring in the historical context to support the allegorical meaning?
• What evidence best suits my explanation? 
• How should I organize my answer? 
• Does each bit of evidence have the accompanying explanation?
