POST #1:  My Life Through The Eyes Of The Animals

For this blog, you will be choosing one of the characters that we have discussed in chapters 1-5 and writing a blog post as if you were the character.

In chapters 4 & 5, the animals engage in the Battle of Cowshed and then a serious event happens to the dynamic of the farm, when Napoleon decides to oust Snowball.  Re-read the chapters if you need to refresh the events in your mind.  

1.  Choose one of the characters represented in the chapters.  
2.  You will be writing a blog post as the character you chose.  
3.  Put yourself in the place of the character and respond to the following prompt.
4.  Each post must begin with the post # and a title (i.e. Post #1:  Chaos on the Farm!)

The Battle of Cowshed was a crazy, yet calculated, event!  Describe your involvement in the event and what you were feeling at the time of the battle.  After the battle there was an event between Napoleon and Snowball.  Describe what you think happened in your own eyes--what was going on?  Who was involved? Who do you support and why?  What do you think about the pack of dogs, the small group of pigs making all of the decisions and...what's up with the windmill?  What do you think your future looks like??      

This blog post should be a minimum of 3 paragraphs.  Please make sure the spelling and grammar are good looking!  :)  

  

  

  

Welcome to the World of Blogging!

Hey 11th grade!  Welcome to the world of blogging!  #leaveyourdigitalmark

Throughout the unit on Animal Farm, I will be leaving you posts on the home page of writing assignments that I would like you to complete on the blog.  We will discuss the rubric for blogging in class, so you have an understanding of how you will be scored and the depth of content in your writing that will be required.  

I'm excited to get to see your thoughts floating around in the digital world!  #welcometothe21stcentury
