Having been an avid reader since grade school, I became impassioned with 20th century American literature while a high school student of Dr. Willis Brenner who taught my English literature classes in my junior and senior year. Dr. Brenner had a contagious enthusiasm for great American literature that I couldn't resist. As a result, I went on to major in English Literature at Michigan State University. I became a certified ELA (English) teacher for secondary school and was quickly found myself disappointed that students were no longer being exposed to works of writers like Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Bradbury, Melville, Steinbeck, or many others. It seems that the works of these American greats ended up on the trash heap of the politician's new vision of what getting a real education means.

Worksheets will be sent to students covering their reading assignment for the week.

A copy of the book is required. The edition we will be working with is: The Illustrated Animal Farm: The Illustrated Edition (Penguin Classics), $12.24. Please get the recommend edition! When students are working off different editions, it wastes a great deal of class time as we skip around during the study of the novel. 

I have included the link to the book on Amazon below:
