[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. I was frustrated when my kid's "Advanced" English 6 class was reading Magic Fish. Now I can wait to be infuriated AGAIN when they get it as a high schooler. [/quote]

My child went to private MS followed by MCPS HS, let me tell you...

I haven't heard of Magic Fish, but he read All American Boys in MS. Animal Farm was a repeat for him. [/quote]

What were your child’s thoughts on the parallels between Animal Farm and early 20th century Russia? Was the Russian Revolution studied in Social Studies before or after?

World History is usually taken in 11th.[/quote]

DP. You do not have to get that in history class when reading Animal Farm. You should be getting it in English class by through context readings  so that you understand what the allegory and its relevance.[/quote]

Allegory is killed by serving it backwards, explaining what everything means instead of relying on the reader's knowledge when they read.
