It's Easier Than You Think: Reading Animal Farm
Noah Welsh
Average rating:5.0Number of reviews:(92)
In this course, we'll read the classic novel, Animal Farm by George Orwell, with a discussion-based approach designed to enlighten learners on the important themes and symbols--and through a sympathetic, character-driven lens.
Class experience
In this relaxed, discussion-friendly course, learners will take a refreshing look at George Orwell's Animal Farm. Often overshadowed by Orwell's more complex 1984, Animal Farm is just as sharp in its satire and every bit as deep in its commentary.

This class is taught in English.
Students will read Animal Farm and gain deeper insight into its themes, symbols, and overall philosophy. Students will gain a deeper emotional connection to the novel and its characters in order to promote a love of reading.
I successfully taught many classic novels to reluctant learners in the past with this discussion-based approach. By taking away the sheer weight of reading a classic, learners can find their own emotional connections to the work--which will inevitably lead them to a deeper understanding of why it works so well. Using this approach in the past, I have successfully turned low-income students-at-risk into readers with a profound curiosity for digging deeper into the stories we think we know.
A hard or digital copy of the novel and tools for note-taking.
Animal Farm does contain some dark themes and violence toward animals. This is never excessive or overwhelming, but it can be uncomfortable for some younger learners.
Copy of Animal Farm, either a hard copy or PDF version. Supplies or devices to take notes.
