Animal Farm Commandments

My Y11 class were working on Animal Farm today, discussing the commandments that were made and then broken by the animals. Animism was a theory created by Old Major (Karl Marx) that was subverted and perverted by the pigs as they became a ruling elite.

We came up with some commandments of our own:

• No one must be treated differently because they are different, everyone is the same.
• Survival of the fittest.
• No living human being shall be on the streets. They should be living in a house.
• Love your enemies.
• No animal shall be killed except pigs.
• We are allowed to eat whenever we want to / wish.
• No murder.
• No unconfortable shoes.
• Do no steal or desire what does not belong to you.
• Obey your parents and then you'll have an every lasting life.
• Love each other.
• Everyone to be treated equally.
• Free WIFI.

Obviously we have a range of ideologies (and levels of seriousness) in class.

We have also been looking at propaganda as part of our novel study.

Check out our quick slideshows that we made today.
