Extra Credit: 9th English regular

The following is a bonus opportunity for 9th English regular. It is completely optional. Your work must be turned in by 2:20 (the tardy bell for 7th if we're on regular schedule) on December 9. I will not accept late assignments or assignments that do not meet the requirements listed below. I will grade them and replace the lowest test grade of this term with whatever score is earned--even if it is lower than the original. Do not waste your time or mine by turning in inferior work.


The Assignment

Create a model of a setting in Animal Farm. The students can use any medium--wood, shoe boxes, cardboard--as long as the model is three-dimensional. The model should be labeled in detail. The students will write a one-page explanation that coincides with the model, demonstrating that they understand not only what is happening, but why it is significant to the story.

Your explanation must meet the following requirements:

  • one full page, typed
  • double spaced
  • size 12 Times New Roman font
  • one inch margins
  • one full page


The diorama is worth 50 points. It will be graded on accuracy, aesthetics, and creativity. The one-page explanation is worth 50 points. It will be graded on accuracy and proper grammar and mechanics.
