This week, we are publishing teaching materials for the study of George Orwell’s essay ‘Shooting an Elephant’. This is arguably Orwell's most well known essay, and it forms part of a series of pages on the literary work, ‘George Orwell’s essays’. Over the next few weeks, we will be building the resources, providing a large body of materials that enable you to teach this work. The materials for 'Shooting an Elephant' are available here. Subscribers can find an introductory, pre-reading page here, and materials on ‘A Hanging’ can be found here. We hope you enjoy working with the materials.
