As a class we read Animal Farm together. At the completion of the book we used the skills that we developed during our previous Debate & Argumentation unit, and applied the new skill to the writing of this argumentative essay.Â
This is the prompt we responded to:
Consider the ways in which the following factors show up in Animal Farm:
Ignorance
Manipulation
Power-hoarding behavior
Write an essay in which you describe how each of these factors contributed to the corruption of Animal Farm. Choose and argue which factor was most influential.
