It’s another CAPT week, so our schedule is a bit odd. We meet Monday and then Thursday and Friday. Characterization is going to be very important as we begin our reading of Animal Farm. Napoleon, Snowball, and Squealer are central. Be aware of what sets them apart from the other animals and from each other. The author, George Orwell, is careful to be succinct. He uses carefully chosen words to make his point, and he is also suggestive rather than direct. Napoleon, for example, has a reputation for getting what he wants. What does this mean? Keep your eyes open for other suggestions of character as you read. Molly, Boxer, Clover, and Benjamin will be important too.

Now, here is what the week looks like:

Mon. 3/12

1. Read ch. 3 in Animal Farm. Don’t forget to read the considerations before you begin.
