Agenda: 1) Class will read the “Comrade Napoleon” poem from Animal Farm, then watch the “We Are the World” music video.
2) Class will read Chapter #8 of animal farm, focusing on the pigs’ continuing use of propaganda and the subsequent changes to the animals’ Seven Commandments.

Homework: Compose a song in honor of someone who doesn’t deserve to be honored. In this song you will humorously glorify the person in a similar style to that used in the “Comrade Napoleon” poem. Give your poem a serious tone which will, in turn, make it appear more humorous and satirical.
