We started the Student Led Conference material and should be able to finish it quickly tomorrow. That will free us up to get back to Animal Farm and our Big Three topics of focus:
The Animal Farm Presentation
The Stalin Epigram
The Paper
As I stated previously, you and a small group of your peers will be selecting from a variety of topics for the group presentation. You can look on yesterday's blog for the topics. You'll be expected to research the topic in Animal Farm, find the support you need, and present it succinctly and effectively in three minutes. Offer a focused, supported discussion with well-explained information. You all need to participate in a significant way. You need to speak clearly, look at your audience, and be engaging. ZERO TOLERANCE for apathetic presentations!
The Stalin Epigram becomes bigger the further we move away from Animal Farm. You should have all read it by now since you have had it for over a week. I want you to be thinking about ways it connects to Animal Farm. You don't have to prepare or do anything outside of class yet. but you will soon.
The paper! This will be the big crescendo! Your overarching questions should give you a hint to the direction this will take. More to come.
Ripped From The Headlines is coming in Friday. Don't forget to cite your sources. EVERYONE will have a Works Cited page even if the only entry is Animal Farm. Use the OWL.
See you soon.
