Characters

Start with the characters

The Characters section of the Animal Farm unit in Literature brings together resources made by GoConqr users. For an overview, start with the Animal Farm Characters flashcard deck. It names characters including Old Major, Snowball, Napoleon, Squealer and Boxer. Use the names as a starting point for deciding which characters you want to study in more detail.

The notes titled Animal Farm Characters offer another way into the list. They identify several animals and include a comparison of Snowball and Napoleon. A mind map with the same title also brings characters together, so check the resource type when choosing between them.

Look closely at Napoleon and Boxer

The Animal Farm: Napoleon mind map describes Napoleon as selfish and notes that he puts himself before others. Start there if you want to focus on his character, then return to an overview map to see his name alongside the other characters.

The Boxer mind map describes him as brave, strong and hardworking. It refers to his work on the farm and his role in the battle of the cowshed. Comparing the two maps can help you organize notes about the different qualities each resource highlights.

Combine maps, cards and the quiz

Use a flashcard deck to become familiar with names, then move to a mind map for details about an individual character. After exploring the maps, the Animal Farm quiz gives you another format to work with. Look at the questions it asks and use any that relate to characters alongside your notes.
