November 18

I gave you a booklet today based on Animal Farm. The booklet requires you to compare events in Animal Farm to events in Russian history, to compare characters in the book with people in the Russian Revolution, and to examine how the Seven Commandments of Animalism were altered and why they were altered. Additionally, we completed the notes on democratization (part of Gorbachev's reforms), and we discussed the questions from Chapter 9 of the textbook.

Here are some upcoming important dates:

• Animal Farm booklet is due Monday, November 22nd
• Chapter 9 Quiz is on Tuesday, November 23rd
• Edgar Allan Poe project is due Monday, November 29th

You will also be having a "pop quiz" on Animal Farm very soon!
