Instead of taking a test, to wrap up our work on Animal Farm you will write your own story.
Either rewrite a chapter or write a sequel chapter to the book. Show or explain a major change that would improve the lives of the animals.
Narrative stories will still follow the fable format, using talking animals as characters and teaching a lesson about life. However, you need to consider logical consequences for any changes you make.
For example, Snowball could come back with a team of horses and trample the humans and pigs. However, this would probably result in the police or even National Guard coming out to slaughter all the murderous animals. Not exactly a happy ending for anybody.
Think about:
How could the animals change the power structure?
What rules would the new "government" have to follow?
What supports would they need to put in place to make sure the leaders don't become corrupted like the pigs were?
Your story can be a narrative (just telling the story) OR you can explain what would need to happen (like a textbook). If you really want to get creative, you could write a new "constitution" for the animals and explain how power of the leaders would be kept in check.
Animal Farm narrative papers need to be at least 500 words.
Expository papers (telling information) need to have at least four headings and must be at least 400 words.
If you have a rough draft finished and ready for peers to read when we get back from break on 3/24, your "Writing" grade for QT3 will be boosted to 100%.
