Animal Farm Project Evaluation

1. Kayla A.
2. pyramid visual
3. I think that Kayla really showed all the literary elements throughout the novel. I think that this project was very planned out and creative. It really shows how the novel went through a change from beginning to end and how the animals acted out the Russian Revolution.
1. Katie G.
2. Picture
3. I think that her picture really captured how the animals changed throughout the novel by talking to the humans again. Her picture showes one of the pigs talking to one of the farmers and how he tricked Napoleon with the fake money for the timber. I think this was a very important scene.
1. Sara E.
2. picture
3. Her picture really captured the whole scene of the Animal Farm. It shows the windmill and the barn where the animals held their meetings. It also shows how the pigs had a great life because they were the leaders and how the rest of the animals had hard lives from what the pigs put them through.
1. Grace B.
2. movie trailer
3. Her movie really showed how intense the novel was and what all happened on the farm. It tells about Napoleons bad dominance and how he treated the pigs and how in the end the farm went back to being run by humans pretty much.
1. Paul and will
2. comic strip
3. Their comic strip was well laid out. It shows how the pigs were tired of being controlled. And then in the end the pigs just turn out to be like the farmers from the beginning.
1. Blog of the swimmer?
2. poem
3. Their poem was really good. It tells how the animals wished for freedom but in the end power got the best of them. Their wording was really good I really enjoyed this poem.
1. Emery
2. His video showed the role of each animal and the role they played throughout the story. He explained how they contributed to the animal farm and what they did.
1. Leah
2. Picture
3. Her picture shows squealer speaking to the animals and his propaganda. It tells what he says and what it really means. I thought she really got all the aspects of his words.

My New Years Resolution!

My new years resolution is simple really. My main focuses will be on my grades and trying to get them all up to an A before the end of the semester or at least a solid B. This would really help me not only to keep my mom happy but to not have to worry about my grades slipping. I will keep up my fantastic grades by doing my work to the fullest and turning it all in on time!!! :D Also I want to save my money to buy either a car, a new guitar, a drum set, or a long board but I'm not to sure yet. I also want to decorate my room more and add more posters and cool stuff all over and eat healthier but that never works, I have a weakness for candy. I will try to maintain all of this but saving money isn't easy for me but adding on to my room is a simple change. Oh and also learn to play bass, drums, and piano! Happy New Years!

Animal Farm

As One
As one we decide to take over the farm
As one we take over the farm
As one we decide to banish all human ways
As one we banish all human ways
As one we decide to learn to read and write
As one we learn to read and write
As one we decide to run off jones and his men
As one we run off Jones and his men
As one Napoleon decides to overrun Snowball 
As one Napoleon overruns Snowball
By himself Napoleon tells us to work on the windmill
We work on the windmill
By himself Napoleon keeps all of our food for the pigs
We let him take it
By himself Napoleon starts to act like a human
We don’t catch on
By himself Napoleon makes us work harder
We work harder
By himself Napoleon talks to the forbidden humans
We let him sacrifice talking to them
By himself Napoleon trades with the humans
We let him trade for the things he wants
By himself Napoleon sends Boxer to his death
We simply ignore it
By himself Napoleon turns the farm exactly into what they rebelled against
We sit and watch letting him make the choices by himself
