From Farm to Revolution Answer Key

This worksheet connects characters and events from Animal Farm to their historical counterparts from the Russian Revolution. Students match each literary element with its corresponding real-world figure or event, strengthening their understanding of allegory and historical symbolism. The task builds historical literacy and reinforces critical thinking about Orwell’s political commentary. A short written response at the end asks students to explain how these parallels reflect real historical movements. This integrative activity promotes cross-curricular connections between literature and history.
