Animal Farm Knowledge Organiser

A Knowledge Organiser designed to support learners in engaging with the historical context of George Orwell’s Animal Farm.

I work with the belief that an understanding of context is imperative to a comprehensive understanding of any text - this is abundantly true of Animal Farm.

This resource includes information and questions on:

• George Orwell’s Life and Politics
• Russia Before the Revolution
• The Russian Revolution
• The Rise of the Soviet Union
• Stalin’s Rise to Power
• Stalin’s Regime
• Synopsis of the Text
• Exploration of Allegory within the Text
• Key Theme
• Symbols and Motifs
• Key Terms

It also provides a chapter summaries for every chapter within the novella.
