Leah Dornfeld posted a comic strip. I thought her post was funny and interesting. It was a really clever idea to show irony by writing what squealer says in on speech bubble, and what he actually means in the other. It was pretty short, however, and I would have liked to see more!
Brooke made a song using Garageband. I thought her song showed foreshadowing when new notes were added to a part of the song right before a new movement. This also helped the song flow smoothly. Themes also seemed to be present in the song--anger, betrayal, and joy were all there!
Alena made a movie trailer. I thought her movie effectively conveyed irony. This was visible when napolean's followers re-writing his own laws. The funny side of this video related to the tone from the joyful parts of the novel--whimsically playful!
Olivia wrote a haiku. The rich, dark language she used revealed the somber tone in the otherwise silly story. I didn't really think very hard about how serious this parallel story was until I read Olivia's poem! It was a little short, though. I wish there were a whole page of haikus to continue the story!
Britney G. created a computer generated image. I loved it! The symbolism was so strong. It was raining over the windmill, which represents success. I thought that this was a great way to convey the symbolism through art.
Katie did a song using a computer. I really liked the song. The tone related to the somber tone of AF. The repetition in the song shoed the fluctuations in success on Animal Farm. I think the tribal sounding men symbolized the KGB and their harsh unfairness.
Zach sang a song and recorded a scene from animal farm. The song was transcribed to a key that related the tone of Animal farm. I thought that that was a great idea. The scene was clever and unique, but was also relevent to what we learned about the book.
Sean did a cartoon. His ideas were so unique! The first part of the cartoon foreshadowed corruption. The middle showed irony when napolean changed his own laws. The end, however, was my favorite! The very last line was, "the pigs had become the humans." Next to this line was a photoshopped picture of a man and a pig morphed together. It was hilarious and really conveyed the power theme.
Sara created a picture on tux-paint. Her symbolism was fantastic. The farmhouse was on a hill to represent power. It was raining over the barn to symbolize the horrible conditions the animals live in. There was even a rainbow to represent the pigs' easy way of life!
Donna filmed a movie. I loved the way she chose to symbolize power. She put the pigs on a pile of books to represent their "superiority." The other animals were just on the ground.
Even after viewing all of these (mostly) great projects, I am still proud of ours! We put a lot of effort into it and, in my opinion, conveyed all of the elements effectively. It was creative, unique, and polished. I feel like it definitely measures up!
