Pre-AP English II: T-Chart for Animal Farm Chapters 1 & 2

The first essay option in the Summer Assignment addresses Santayana's assertion that one must remember history in order to have a chance to avoid repeating it. To see how the animals may have already started forgetting things, complete the following mini-project (we did this in class for a grade, so if you were absent, make sure you show it to me after you complete it):

1. Make a T-Chart
2. Label the first column: Original Seven Commandments
3. Label the second column: Old Major's Speech
4. In the first column, list each of the second commandments
5. In the second column, list anything Major warned against that doesn't appear as a commandment
6. If something appears as a commandment that Major didn't warn about, put a star next to it.

Keep this for your essay-writing notes.
