This learning resource focuses on guiding students through the process of writing an essay analyzing George Orwell's *Animal Farm*. It outlines clear steps for organizing their analysis, including choosing a specific essay prompt related to themes of power, rule changes, or character impact. The resource introduces key concepts such as formulating a thesis statement, using textual evidence, and analyzing that evidence to support their claims. Additionally, it provides a structured method (the CER method) for literary analysis and includes sections for students to draft their thesis, collect quotes, and reflect on their writing process. The aim is to ensure students develop a well-supported argument, culminating in a finalized essay plan that emphasizes a thorough understanding of the text and its themes.
