- he producers at Real Play Theatre believe it’s never too early to start teaching kids about the responsible use of power. They want to bring a kid-friendly version of Animal Farm to the stage for their audience--mostly families with young children. Since you’ve just finished reading Animal Farm, you’re in a good position to advise Real Play Theater on how to adapt the novel in a way that appeals to the littlest citizens. For this project, write a script for a children’s play based on the plot and characters of Animal Farm. Include suggestions for how to design the stage and how characters should behave. The story in your script can be simpler and shorter, but the novel’s themes should come through in the play. You can deliver your script as a text document, or record and upload a video of you and your friends performing the play.arrow_forwardWhy can it be so difficult for people to do what is right?arrow_forwardJerry did not feel like going to work today, he was feeling exhausted and fed up.

- Followership is what allows for leadership. You cannot lead without followership. I also think in order to be a good or great leader, you must also be a good or great follower. This requires you to be humble and observant, even if you are in a leadership position to take a step back and become a follower for a time period, this in turn will help you become and develop as a better leader. What the important thing to know about followership is that it allows for leaders to learn something about other leaders and learn something about themselves. The role of the follower can be one of self-control and in being strong in that can help the leader out with making his or her job easier. Followers can also observe how the leader works and adopt the models that he or she practices.arrow_forwardJerry did not feel going to work today, he was feeling exhausted and fed up.
