[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Animal farm takes a deep understanding of revolutionary through 1920s USSR to really understand the allegory. I think a European history class is the correct time. [/quote] +1. I read it in HS World History. [/quote] Agree. My 8th grader is reading LOTF for English class. There is a lot of class discussion around it and essays being written. In the this context, she is getting more out of than if she read it years ago and independently. Same with Animal Farm. I wouldn’t recommend it until high school- when they take world history [/quote] Agree. DC just finished reading it in 8th grade but the teacher had literally no discussion with them about the history or context so it was pointless. These are good books that are age appropriate for middle school, but without an adult (parent or teacher) to talk through and analyze the books they will miss a lot. [/quote]
