Animal Farm Chapter 1 Worksheet 2 Name A Number the following ... - Free Printable

Here are the solutions to the worksheet tasks.

Part A: Number the following in the correct sequence

To find the correct order, we need to follow the story of the night on Animal Farm. The events happen in this order:
1. Mr. Jones goes to bed: He locks up but forgets the pop-holes because he is drunk.
2. The animals settle down: Everyone goes to sleep after Mr. Jones leaves.
3. Major's speech begins: Major wakes everyone up and introduces his idea about the song "Beasts of England."
4. The Cat listens (but doesn't care): While Major speaks, the cat finds a warm spot between Boxer and Clover.
5. Major teaches the song: He sings the tune for them.
6. Major finishes speaking: He gives his final warning about Man and dies shortly after.
7. Animals go back to sleep: After the meeting ends, they return to their sleeping places.
8. Disruption: The horses had been lying down earlier when ducklings wandered in, causing a brief stir before the main meeting started. *(Note: In many versions of this specific worksheet logic, the disruption by the ducklings often happens right as they are settling or just before the deep sleep, but looking at the text "The two horses had just lain down... fled into the barn", this usually happens early in the evening routine before the deep sleep described later. Let's re-evaluate based on standard narrative flow.)*

Let's look closer at the narrative flow of Chapter 1:
1. Mr. Jones locks up (drunk). -> *Text: "MR. JONES... had locked the hen-houses... too drunk..."*
2. Animals settle down. -> *Text: "Everyone fled to his own sleeping-place... whole farm was asleep..."*
3. Wait, the text says "Major was already ensconced...". This implies Major is ready before the others fully settle or perhaps simultaneously.
4. Actually, let's look at the specific sentences provided to link them:
* Sentence 1: "Major was already ensconced..." (Setting the scene for Major).
* Sentence 2: "Unfortunately, the uproar awoke Mr. Jones..." (This happens at the very end of the chapter/meeting).
* Sentence 3: "MR. JONES... locked the hen-houses..." (Start of the night).
* Sentence 4: "The two horses had just lain down... ducklings... fled into the barn..." (This happens early, as they are trying to sleep).
* Sentence 5: "'Comrades, you have heard already...'" (Major's concluding remarks).
* Sentence 6: "He made his way up to bed, where Mrs. Jones was already snoring." (Jones going to bed initially).
* Sentence 7: "Everyone fled to his own sleeping-place... farm was asleep..." (Initial settling).
* Sentence 8: "I will sing you that song now..." (Major starting the song).
* Sentence 9: "All the habits of Man are evil..." (Major's main speech content).
* Sentence 10: "Last of all came the cat..." (Happening during the gathering/speech).

Correct Logical Sequence:

1. MR. JONES, of the Manor Farm, had locked the hen-houses for the night, but was too drunk to remember to shut the pop-holes. (Jones starts his night).
2. He made his way up to bed, where Mrs. Jones was already snoring. (Jones goes to sleep).
3. Everyone fled to his own sleeping-place. The birds jumped on to their perches, the animals settled down in the straw, and the whole farm was asleep in a moment. (The farm tries to sleep).
4. The two horses had just lain down when a brood of ducklings, which had lost their mother, filed into the barn, cheeping feebly and wandering from side to side to find some place where they would not be trodden on. (A small disturbance occurs as they try to sleep).
5. Major was already ensconced on his bed of straw, under a lantern which hung from a beam. (Introduction of Major, who is awake while others are settling/disturbed).
6. Last of all came the cat, who looked round, as usual, for the warmest place, and finally squeezed herself in between Boxer and Clover; there she purred contentedly throughout Major’s speech without listening to a word of what he was saying. (The audience gathers/is present for the speech).
7. "Comrades, you have heard already about the strange dream that I had last night. But I have something else to say first. I do not think, comrades, that I shall be with you for many months longer; and before I die"... (Major begins his address).
8. All the habits of Man are evil. And, above all, no animal must ever tyrannise over his own kind. Weak or strong, clever or simple, we are all brothers. No animal must ever kill any other animal. All animals are equal. (The core message of the speech).
9. I will sing you that song now, comrades. I am old and my voice is hoarse; but when I have taught you the tune, you can sing it better for yourselves. It is called Beasts of England. (Major introduces the song).
10. Unfortunately, the uproar awoke Mr. Jones, who sprang out of bed, making sure that there was a fox in the yard. (The meeting ends with noise, waking Jones).

Part B: List 3 things animals must never do

Based on Major's speech in the text provided ("All the habits of Man are evil..."), here are three rules he lists:

1. No animal must ever tyrannise over his own kind. (Don't bully other animals).
2. No animal must ever kill any other animal. (Do not murder).
3. No animal must ever live in a house / sleep in a bed / wear clothes / drink alcohol / smoke tobacco / touch money / engage in trade. (The prompt asks for things they must *never* do. The text explicitly says "No animal must ever tyrannise..." and "No animal must ever kill...". It also says "All the habits of Man are evil." While the full list of 7 commandments comes later in the book, in this specific speech excerpt, the explicit "must never" commands are about tyranny and killing. However, the question asks for 3 things. Usually, this refers to the general "Habits of Man" which include living in a house, sleeping in a bed, wearing clothes, etc. Since item 1 in the worksheet is "Animals must never live in a house," we should pick two other human habits mentioned or implied as "evil habits" in the broader context of Chapter 1, or stick strictly to the text provided.
* *Strict Text Analysis:* The text provided says: "Weak or strong... we are all brothers." It doesn't explicitly list "don't wear clothes" in *this specific snippet*. However, standard curriculum for Chapter 1 expects students to identify the vices of man.
* Let's look at the prompt's example: "1. Animals must never live in a house." This is one of the Seven Commandments derived from the speech.
* Other common answers from this chapter's lesson are:
* Sleep in a bed.
* Wear clothes.
* Drink alcohol.
* Smoke tobacco.
* Touch money.
* Engage in trade.
* Kill any other animal.

Since the text snippet explicitly says "No animal must ever kill any other animal," that is a very strong candidate. Another is "tyrannise over his own kind."

Let's provide the most standard answers expected for this worksheet level:

2. Animals must never kill any other animal.
3. Animals must never sleep in a bed. (Or "wear clothes" / "drink alcohol").

*(Self-Correction: Looking at the specific text box "All the habits of Man are evil...", the most direct prohibitions found in the full speech associated with this chapter are Tyranny, Killing, and adopting Human Habits. Given #1 is "Live in a house", #2 and #3 should likely be other human habits or the explicit moral rules. "Kill any other animal" is explicitly in the text. "Tyrannise over his own kind" is explicitly in the text. I will use those as they are directly in the reading passage provided.)*

Revised Plan for Part B:
1. (Given) Animals must never live in a house.
2. Animals must never kill any other animal.
3. Animals must never tyrannise over their own kind.

*(Alternative acceptable answers often accepted in schools if they refer to the "7 Commandments" memorization: Sleep in a bed, Wear clothes, Drink alcohol. But since "Explain Answer" is false, I will provide the most logically sound answers derived directly from the visible text.)*

Final Answer:

A. Correct Sequence:

1. MR. JONES, of the Manor Farm, had locked the hen-houses for the night, but was too drunk to remember to shut the pop-holes.
2. He made his way up to bed, where Mrs. Jones was already snoring.
3. Everyone fled to his own sleeping-place. The birds jumped on to their perches, the animals settled down in the straw, and the whole farm was asleep in a moment.

B. Three things animals must never do:

1. Animals must never live in a house.
2. Animals must never kill any other animal.
3. Animals must never tyrannise over their own kind.

*(Note: Other acceptable answers for 2 and 3 based on the full chapter context often include: Sleep in a bed, Wear clothes, Drink alcohol, Smoke tobacco, Touch money, Engage in trade.)*
