1. Animal Farm Ch. 4-6

2. Animal Farm – Ch. 4-6  Create a title for each chapter, as I did for Ch. 1-3.  Think about… what is the purpose of the whole chapter?  For example, Ch. 1 could be titled “The Speech”  Identify one big question for each: Ch. 4, 5, and 6.  Again, think BIG picture, not minor details.  New groups…  Look at your questions collectively. Choose 3 questions (1 from each chapter) from the group to pose to another group for your assigned chapter.  Switch questions, and answer!  I will put them on a slide for all to see.  Choose someone to share your answer, and prepare for discussion.
