Students look at 40 images and try to work out which quotation the image refers to. Includes the answer sheet.
I use this as an end of term/end of unit activity and let the students colour in the quotations at the end of the lesson which is something they always enjoy.

What makes an effective leader
Explore Orwell’s message about how power corrupts

Writing frame included for lower ability students
Lesson introducing the character of Squealer.
It starts by looking at adjectives to describe Squealer and his function of the play.
Then students make inferences about 11 Squealer quotations and then compare their explanations to my teacher explanations.
The lesson is aimed at a mid ability class. However, there are some concepts aimed more at higher ability students such as obfuscation and gas-lighting and contextual links to Molotov and Pravda that can be explored in greater depth with higher-ability classes.
An sample exam response 24/30 to the following question which is on the AQA sample exam for 2021.
How does Orwell use the character of Squealer to explore ideas about truth and lies in Animal Farm?
Grade boundaries are subject to change but I am confident this would attain a grade 7 or 8.
Also includes a revision sheet on Squealer. I give students the blank version then go through the more detailed explanations for each quotation later in the lesson.
A handy revision sheet to help students write a high level response on the character of Squealer in Animal Farm.
11 carefully selected quotations about Squealer are analysed in detail for authorial methods and authorial message which takes into account the wider historical context.
Resources to prepare for a comparison of Dulce et Decorum Est and The Manhunt.

This sheet contains information so students can annotate over 90 key quotations from the text.
It should be noted that this was created for a fairly low ability class to help students who had missed a significant number of lessons to catch up. The annotations are not perceptive enough for students aiming for grades 7-9. They will nevertheless still offer a solid grounding for higher ability students to then explore the quotations further.
The resource tells them the page number of each key quote so students must practise their scanning skills to find the quotation to highlight. Then students write the brief note beside each quotation to explain why it is important.
The page numbers correspond to the Heinemann edition. Check the preview to ensure the page numbers correspond to the copy of the text you are using in class.
