Learning Guide Excerpt
To demonstrate how our Learning Guides can be used by teachers to improve lesson plans, we have set out below one of the discussion questions from the Learning Guide to Animal Farm.
Did the animals obey the Colonel's last instruction: "We must remember when you have got rid of Jones, don't adopt his vices.... Now and forever all animals are equal"? How does this relate to the history of the Soviet Union?
The Learning Guide to the film Animal Farm contains sections on Benefits of the Movie, Possible Problems, Helpful Background, Discussion Questions, Links to the Internet, and Bridges to Reading. The Discussion Questions are divided into three categories: Subject Matter, Social-Emotional Learning, and Moral-Ethical Emphasis.
