This 20-slide lesson explores Chapter 8 of George Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’.
In this comprehensive lesson, students consider how Napoleon continues to create a cult of personality through effective propaganda. Mr Frederick’s attack on the farm is also analysed, while the pigs’ increasing tendency to violate the Seven Commandments is assessed. The comical discovery of alcohol on the farm is explored, emphasising Orwell’s satire. Pupils are also reminded about the significance of the animals’ literacy on the farm, foreshadowing the events of Chapter 9.
The allegorical function of the novella is also closely studied, as pupils study examples of Stalin’s propaganda and the agreements made between Stalin and Hitler.
Questions, discussion points, and tasks are included for students. An engaging creative writing (poetry) task is featured at the end of this lesson.
The lesson is ideal for KS3 or GCSE students.
