question, every word, five times. What is the question asking you to do?
2.
Generate ideas.
- regular animals
are, pigs are not
1 not equal
with the other animals, put themselves above the other animals – work, food
3

2 pigs not

with humans
Are these
three points separate and clear?
They seem
ok.
3.

in order of time, space, importance
(10m)
WRITING- start to write
sentences and paragraphs
Example of introductory paragraph:
grabber – general to specific
statement
Many
of us start off on a new project with high hopes and clear ideas. However,
as time goes by and other people get involved, those plans can change
and even go off the rails. In Animal Farm, although the animals
begin their rebellion with the purest and clearest of intentions, the rebellion
is quickly taken over by the pigs who subvert Old Major’s vision in order to
suit their own purposes. First, they hold themselves higher than the
other animals. Also, they do not focus on spreading the rebellion to other
farms. Most importantly, the pigs break several of the 7 Commandments.
(a little bit long)
thesis st
preview
3 BODY PARAGRAPHS- one for

1.
Topic sentence –
higher than other animals
2.
Topic sentence-
don’t spread rebellion
3.
Topic sentence –
break commandments
Concluding paragraph – restatement
of thesis, points
In Animal Farm, although
the animals begin their rebellion with the clearest of intentions, the rebellion
is quickly taken over by the pigs who subvert Old Major’s vision in order to
suit their own purposes.
RESTATE – same information in
different words, depth of vocabulary
e.g. Clearly, the pigs do not
follow Old Major’s vision as they take the farm away from the other animals trick
by trick, lie by lie.
Monday – 2 hours to write an
essay
You can take your time and
not be stressed about it.
