Hodder English 4: Animal Farm: Level 4

This is a self-contained study book which aims to lead students through the section-by-section study of the novel "Animal Farm", and place it within its social, historical and cultural context. It draws out key points, themes and characterization, and then looks at the novel as a structured whole through activities. Activities encourage in-depth analysis of the way the narrative works as both an exciting story and a story with a political purpose, building an understanding of Orwell's motives and an awareness of how and why the novel has become regarded as a classic of its kind. The book can be used alone or alongside the "Hodder English 4" course book, and offers comprehensive coverage of National Curriculum requirements for the study of literary texts at Key Stage 4. Activities and stimuli in the text help to generate written coursework for GCSE English.
