• You will answer questions about these characters or themes
• Make sure that you've answered all of the questions related to your character or theme!
  
• During the last 5 minutes of class I will walk around to assess your progress; if I see you've not worked on your character or theme I will ask you to come back and finish the assignment in the 9th hour
  
• Hand in your work at the end of the lesson
•  I will put all of your work on ELO, in the folder "H3P: gedeelde documenten". This way you can study each other's "character findings" and "theme summaries" for the booktest!
  

Goal: Animal Farm

• The goal of this lesson is that you will help each other work on character and theme summaries for the booktest: "Animal Farm"
  
  
• By all working on one character or theme, and then putting your work together; you will all have worked out part of the book that would have taken you ages if you had done it all by yourself!
