Could Animal Farm be used for a Social Studies Class?

We Answered:

Sure, with all the politics going on in the book I think it'd be an interesting lesson. I've read it a few times... still sometimes thinking of myself as an old horse who has worked hard but close to the glue factory :)

help i had the question about gluing pompoms to paper cups and need to know how to relate it to social studies?

We Answered:

- maybe the pompoms can represent the various generations that have gone into making this present generation [the cup itself] - without past generations, the future generations wouldn't be there.
hence, also, the need to preserve & conserve - stop biological extinction [plants & animals] as well as human warfare. after all, all humanity 'drinks' from the same 'cup of life'.
- pompoms can represent different countries, nationalities, peoples, cultures, regions -- how they all combine to make this one earth [the cup]. without mutual cooperation & peaceful coexistence, the cup [earth] will not be able to sustain mankind/life.
- pompoms can also represent the different knowledge systems, the ideas, inventions, technologies, etc. that have emerged over the millennia & the cup holds all this together for the entire world to share & partake of for combined development & improvement.

your basic concepts can be - peace, unity, togetherness, sustainability, future, cooperation, respecting life, peaceful coexistence, thankfulness for the past while building on future, gratitude for past developments/one's foundations.....

hope these help
all the very best
