Hey everyone, I just dropped by to receive a little help.

For a school project, I have to make a 15 minute video about the book Animal Farm. In the project we have to have information about the author, the background of the book, a summary of the book, and at least one literary criticism about the book. The bad thing is, the project is graded primarily on creativity, which I have none of.

SO if anyone can think of an idea for me, I would greatly appreciate it...

thanks

Make a musical!

I haven't read Animal Farm since 7th grade, so I've forgotten much of it.

I agree with Phily. Bring in eggs, bacon, beef, lamb... Then they can talk to each other.

Maybe you could find a way to incoroporate the Pink Floyd album "Animals" into your presentation. At my school, using music is usually thought of as being creative.

Most of the lyrics are directly based on the book, and all the songs are from the names of animals from the farm.


1. Pigs On The Wing (Part One) - 1:24
2. Dogs - 17:08
3. Pigs (Three Different Ones) - 11:27
4. Sheep - 10:20
5. Pigs On The Wing (Part Two) - 1:32

The songs are great, and easy to find on Kazaa or whatever you use, since it is only 5 tracks. Or you could just buy the album if you have the money.

You could like play one line from the song and then compare it to the book and how it relates/doesn't relate/whatever. I hope this works for ya!:up: :D

Why not do a witty commentary on the animated movie Animal Farm?
Explain how dogs can't talk, pigs can't spell, and what not.

I surveyed people on #******* for a homework assignment. All the raw data is still sitting next to me waiting to be finally compiled and get some results. :)
