Voices from the Barn

This creative writing worksheet invites students to compose a diary entry from the perspective of one of the Animal Farm characters. By writing as Boxer, Clover, Mollie, Benjamin, or Squealer, learners demonstrate comprehension of characterization, motivation, and emotional tone. The activity promotes empathy and deeper engagement with the text by asking students to reimagine key events from a first-person perspective. It enhances writing fluency, perspective-taking, and expressive language skills while reinforcing understanding of Orwell’s themes and character psychology.
