Imagine that you are a reporter for the local newspaper in the village. You have been assigned by the editor to write about the Battle of the Cowshed. Write about the events, but try to avoid passive voice! Here's the list of BE verbs
Try to avoid: AM, IS, ARE, WAS, WERE, BE, BEING, BEEN, HAVE, HAS, HAD, DO, DOES, DID, SHALL, WILL, SHOULD, WOULD MAY, MIGHT, MUST, CAN, COULD. :)
Go for *S*P*A*R*K*L*E*
Choose a character from Animal Farm and write about the battle from his or her perspective. You'd also fill in the reporter's questions. Tell the whole battle. Some perspectives to consider:
- The pigeons
- "Fly on the wall"
- Napoleon
- Snowball
- Mollie
- Clover
- Boxer
- Pilkington
- Mr. Fredrick
- The dead sheep
- The injured groom
