Write and present a song or speech that could be used to unite a group
and urge them to rebel. Identify the group for whom the song/speech is
written. Your song/speech should be at least one minute and thirty
seconds in length. You will perform the song/speech, explain its meaning
and the method by which it would inspire rebellion.
Create a fictional utopia of your own. In small groups,
discuss/brainstorm your ideal utopia. Create a detailed society and a
specific governmental system. Consider: democracy, oligarchy,
capitalism, communism, socialism, etc. Research each and decide on
your governmental/economic media, personal freedoms, religion/rituals,
values, family, natural resources, class system, and laws. Draw a map of
your utopia, indicating the name and the capital.
Create a comic book that depicts at least one important event of the
novel. Include the exposition, plot, climax, and resolution of the scene.
The comic book should be colored and fastened in booklet form.
After re-reading the ending of Animal Farm, write a new ending to the
novel. Before writing, consider questions such as "Why did the story end
this way," "What was the author trying to say with his story ending?" and
"Do you think it was a good ending?" These questions will start the
creative process. Be sure you follow Orwell’s style and maintain a serious
message. Your ending should be typed and at least two pages long.

“People are too well informed to adhere to a set of rules or to simply
follow a leader over a distant hill. They want to be inspired by a
greater purpose.” Ann Fudge and Sir Francis Bacon observed that
“knowledge is power” and John Maxwell adds that knowledge
empowers. Write an expository essay describing how these two
statements contribute to the necessary attributes of a responsible
electorate.
