Animal Farm Exam Essay Option

For the Animal Farm exam, you will be given the option to take either a scantron test or complete an esasy. For the essay, you will go to the library, and you will be allowed to use your book.

Notes may be may in the margins of your book, but no outside notes or outlines are permissable. Futhermore, you may have sticky notes or bookmarks throughout your book.

If computers are available, my first preference is that you will type your essay in standard MLA format. You will be required to type AT LEAST a two page essay...typed, double-spaced, 12 point font, in Times or Times New Roman with 1" margins and your last name and page number in the upper right hand corner of the page. Special attention will be paid to grammar, spelling, capitalization, end marks, and commas, and you must obey the seven commandments of English essays.

If computers are not available, you must handwrite your essay NEATLY.

While these are not the exact prompts, the topics you may choose from are as follows:

1. The changes of the Seven Commandments and the result thereof.

2. Analyze three methods of control implemented by the pigs.

3. Describe the rivalry between Napoleon and Snowball, and discuss its effect on the culture of Animal Farm.

For each of the following topics, you will be expected to support your points with quotes from the novel, and you should expect to use at least one or two quotes for each "body paragraph."
