Animal FarmCh. 4-6

Animal Farm – Ch. 4-6Create a title for each chapter, as I did for Ch. 1-3.

Think about… what is the purpose of the whole chapter? For example, Ch. 1 could be titled “The Speech”

Identify one big question for each: Ch. 4, 5, and 6. Again, think BIG picture, not minor details.

New groups… Look at your questions collectively. Choose 3 questions (1

from each chapter) from the group to pose to another group for your assigned chapter.

Switch questions, and answer! I will put them on a slide for all to see.

Choose someone to share your answer, and prepare for discussion.
