Animal Farm Project Evaluation

    1.   Giselle
    2.   Slideshow
    3.   I thought that Giselle's project really summarized the novel in a symbolic and clear way. Foreshadowing was also portrayed when clues were given out to the reader that a leadership like the one on Animal Farm is hard to avoid because there always has to be one person that eventually comes out on top.

    1.   Adora
    2.   Poem
    3.   Adora's poem was in Boxer's point of view, and after I read it I thought that it was interesting because the other projects were all focusing on Napoleon, but to see it from an ordinary farm animal and not the "leader" was a nice change. At the same time, it still showed symbolism in that Boxer was the spokesperson for all the animals on the farm.


    1.   Thomessa
    2.   Scribd
    3.   Thomessa did her online project as a representation of how the Animal Farm has changed before and after the ruling of Napoleon. By showing how the rules changed, I think it was a very effective way of doing this symbolically, and this also represented the theme of the story.
   
    1.   Angela
    2.   Diagram
    3.   Angela's diagram is very organized in a way that you can tell which animals are in the lower class and which are considered the higher class. This is symbolism in the way that you can represent this information in the form of a triangle, it is also pretty ironic that she put the human people around the edges because it is comparing the novel to the present tense political situation.

    1.   Talia
    2.   Diagram
    3.   I thought that this diagram was very informational and conveyed the literary elements present in the book very well. I especially like the fine line separating Napoleon from the other animals. That really symbolized the controlling state in which Napoleon was in.

    1.   Hailey
    2.   Poem
    3.   This poem had a very distinct parallel with the novel, so you could clearly tell that it was based off it. It was very nicely written and in the animal's point of view, which I thought was interesting to see what they thought of the rebellion.

    1.   Kayla and Kelsey
    2.   Comic Strip
    3.   I enjoyed looking at this comic strip, it correctly portrayed how Napolean took control of the farm by using just one senario: Napolean tells them that the windmill was his idea in the first place, and gives the orders for it to be made while he stands by, then it gets knocked down and the animals (excluding him) have to start all over again. By using this scenario, it symbolizes how Napoleon takes control of the farm.

    1.   Emily
    2.   Diagrams
    3.   Unlike some of the other diagrams I have seen, Emily's was two of them being compared together. I thought that this was a very effective way of showing the parallels to the Russian Revolution and also showing symbolism of who had more power then who.

    1.   Kylie
    2.   Photoshop
    3.   This project was very creative! I loved how the rules were written and the added parts were in a different font, and symbolism was correctly portrayed when "Napolean" was on the side of the picture with a crown on him that symbolised power and control like a king.

    1.   Sidney
    2.   Poem
    3.   I thought that this poem was well written and you could clearly tell that it is a parallel from the novel Animal Farm. I especilly enjoyed reading the last stanza and thought that it summarized the last chapter perfectly.

     I put a lot of effort into my project, and I hope that it shows in the final product. Comparing my project with those of my classmates, I think that effort-wise I put in a little more then some people. But when it comes to showing symbolism and parallels to the Russian Revolution, a movie trailer was probably not the best medium in expressing these things, though my partner and I tried very hard to do so.
