Lesson Sequence:
Introduce Concept and language objectives
Preparation: Introduction of visiting farm animals: Ask the children what they know about farms. Specifically who has visited one and what types of animals are on a farm.
Building Background: Tell the students that they are now going to listen to a story about a farm and to think picture what the farm and animals might look like. Read the story: The Big Bed Barn by Margaret Wise Brown. Ask the children if they have learned anything...
Place flashcards on display on the wall so that students will remember the animal and begin to memorize the appearance of the spelling of its name.
Students are placed in pairs and given worksheets that have pictures of farm animals on them, working with their partner they will identify their favorite farm animal and give two reasons that they have chosen this animal. They will then color in the pictures of the animals .
Students will then work independently to copy down the name of the animal underneath the animal's picture.
Review of key concepts: Teacher will ask students questions to remind them what was learned in the lesson such as: what animals live on the farm? While the students are answering questions, the teacher will write the key vocabulary on the board to help the students remember the spelling of each. The teacher will also write down any key vocabulary that was not mentioned.
Reflections/Projection:
The teacher will utilize a think aloud method of teaching should the students become stumped by a question or flashcard. For example, for a picture of a cow, the teacher will say: It is where milk comes from, it makes the sound moo, etc.
Animal Farm The plot of 'This report is a short summary of George Orwell's "Animal Farm." The novel was set in Hertfordshire which was the community where Orwell was known to have lived and where he wrote frequently. Orwell was an avid poultry farmer so his understanding of rural and farm living seems obvious but his insights in the oppression and governmental abuse is not as obvious. The layout of his
The pigs formulate a rudimentary constitution by condensing the tenets of Animalism into Seven Commandments. Animalism is a doctrine centering on freedom and liberation, and especially on resisting human tyranny. Most of the animals on the farm become involved with the revolution and support it directly or indirectly. Animals like Boxer the horse especially toil for the common good of the farm. A pro-labor worker ethic becomes the core philosophy
Animal Farm starts with Mr. Jones, the owner of Manor Farm, drunkenly heading to bed. The animals gather for a meeting to hear Old Major, the prize boar, who tells them about how the humans exploit the farm animals and how they can get rid of their oppressors through a rebellion. Major tells the animals that "all animals are equal" and the humans are their enemy. Old Major dies soon and
Napoleon refuses Snowball's plan to build a windmill and thereby make life more comfortable for all animals, on the grounds that it will take too much time to build the windmill, but his motivation may not be that innocent. When Snowball tries to get the animals to vote on the windmill, Napoleon has Snowball chased off of the farm (and perhaps killed) by a pack of vicious dogs. Napoleon
Animal Farm The Use of Fear in Animal Farm The use of fear plays a significant part in the campaign of Napoleon to gain control of Animal Farm in George Orwell's "fairy story" of the same name. The satirical representation of Stalin uses, of course, other tactics to consolidate his power -- such as the propaganda spewing by Squealer, historical revisionism, and the exploitation of the sheep's ignorance. However, fear underlies each
Animal Farm, a group of farm animals overthrew their human masters in order to establish a society where all animals would rule and benefit equally from their own labor. Three pigs -- Squealer, Napoleon and Snowball -- set about running the farm after Mr. Jones is defeated in the battle. All animals come together to work towards the common goal of the farm's prosperity, supposedly for the common good of
