Animal Farm Project Evaluations

1. Aaron B: Artwork

I found that Aaron's project, an circular cycle surrounded with images, did well to convey the theme of the pigs becoming more like the humans that they had once overthrown. The element of symbolism was also well expressed in several of the images, such as the Picard facepalm.

2. Galen B: Comic Strip

Galen's comic strip provided a good and accurate representation of the plot and story of the novel. It also effectively expressed the irony of Animal Farm returning to Manor Farm.

3. Jake B: Artwork

The location of the characters in Jake's artwork was particularly thematic to the book. Napoleon and the dogs were at the top of the barn, being "more equal" in the story, whereas Snowball was at the bottom.

4. Daryl M: Artwork

Daryl's project was an appropriate symbolic depiction of Animal Farm in the arrows and speech bubbles of the animals. The altered commandments also had relevance to the novel.

5. Kyra B & Amaya K: Movie

Kyra's project, a paper puppet movie, well showed the events and alterations of the commandments in the book. This progressing change expressed the foreshadowing of further changes.

6. Kady Z: Movie

Kady's trailer and movie was very accurate to the book. The images, especially of the windmill being drawn and "un-drawn", and the music were symbolic of the events of the book.

7. Joel R: Artwork:

Joel's picture symbolically shows how the pigs become more like man. The pig wearing clothing in the right frame is an occurrence in the novel, and so relevant to it.

8. Britta S: Poem

Britta's poem, with the change from a version of Beasts of England to praise for Napoleon and the other leading animals, accurately expresses this theme from the book. The irony from the book is also present in the poem, such as concerning the windmill.

9. Josh A: Song

Though it was literal at times, Josh's song was quite relevant to the book in the facts that information that it gave. It also discussed the symbolism between the pigs and figures from the time of the Soviet Union.

10. Porter N: Artwork

Porter's artwork was directly symbolic to the theme of the pigs becoming like the humans in what they did. The humor in the depiction of the pig's face in the latter half of the drawing helped to convey the irony of this.

My Project

Having viewed some of the other projects of my classmates, I think that I put the right amount of work and effort into making my own project. Some of the other projects looked like they might have taken longer and more planning than mine, and some less, but I am satisfied with the product that I made. In respect to literary elements, I made sure to include each of the literary elements into my project, and I saw many other projects that did this too.
