Today we will continue to read Animal Farm chapters 5, 6 and 7. We will use story boarding to help you demonstrate your understanding of the text and prepare for the quiz on Friday.  Make sure that you are
re-reading the text at home and developing your story boards!  You will submit them on Friday for credit! During Writing Wednesday we will design political campaigns for the GREAT WINDMILL Debate!

This week we will begin reading our class novel,  Animal Farm by George Orwell.   You will receive a copy of the work to read and annotate.  It is important that you pay close attention to the story.  There will be a quiz on Friday covering: leadership styles, propaganda and chapters 1-3 of the text!  Be ready.
