This pre-reading strategy uses critical thinking to engage your students for their upcoming reading of Animal Farm by George Orwell. Designed to meet requirements of the Common Core and help prepare students for PARCC, this activity requires students to complete close reading and use explicit text evidence to make logical inferences and predictions.

Books I need to read that I didn't read in high school. This is a really good list to get through.

Help your students think critically and independently as they read Orwell's novella. This reader's notebook gives them a personal space to record their thoughts as they read. Minimal cutting and pasting required.
