Animal Farm Project Evaluation

Angela: Pyramid Poster.           
I thought Angela had a creative way to represent the class system on animal farm. She also compared animals in a class with a known person in reality. Her intention was the class system would always be someone at the top, and I think it was appealing that she showed the president on the same class level with Napoleon.

Connor:  Slide show.
There were many representations of symbolism in this project. Equality with the animals really stood out by the dialogue of the animals and pictures of the animal farm commandments. The chart near the end shows exact relation with all the other characters in the book. Connor showed relations especially with charts and pictures that indicated the irony of equality.

Daniel M: Comic Strip
This shows what makes Animal Farm, the four statements about Animal Farm all represent foreshadowing, symbolism, and plot. The pictures state these four points, I thought the project was simple, but affected the important literary elements with just a look.

Thomessa: Artwork.
            Thomessa’s project showed how the commandments change over the ruling of Animal Farm.
The commandments are important that creates the plot and understanding the theme. By adding the pictures you can see how those characters foreshadow something in the plot.

Ragan: Artwork.
I really enjoyed looking at Ragan’s project. There is a parallel to the Russian revolution and Napoleon.  The picture was very well done and the windmill adds the included importance with the pigs.

Kayla/Kelsey: Comic
I like how the windmill was included as the main element of inequality. This shows foreshadowing and great symbolism of the windmill.

Adora: Poem
The poem is in a unique perspective that other people could see different meanings. I understand the parallel to old leaders and power. This poem was well written, it has many key points that make the story.

Kylie: Poster
This project feels like a flyer you hand out to invite someone to Animal Farm. I think it’s pretty ironic that it is set up that way, because it is not a place you would not want to go. Kylie has the seven commandments that are changed, and a picture of the king pig napoleon.

Emily: Pyramid Poster
I liked how she did two pyramids that really pictures the parallel the animal farm characters to the Russian Revolution. It’s really simple but informative.


Emma/Catherine: Movie Trailer
The movie trailer included the seven commandments, which is the key to the story. The burning windmill was a smart idea representing all destruction. I liked the trailer very much, it kept me interested and wanted to watch the movie.

ME
I could see much effort in a handful of classmates, but some didn’t do something extraordinary creative project. My project showed what necessary elements to build off the story were. I put a good amount of effort in my project, but not compared to some. I think I did pretty well, considering it’s just a slide show of pictures.
