Lessons from literature

After the Paris attacks, I created a lesson about how we treat others in society. I used examples from Of Mice and Men and The Iliad. Obviously, the lesson can be adapted to suit any situation. It is a good lesson to show the relevance of all literature to the lives of students. It is also a good lesson to help compare different types of literature. It works as a one-off lesson or you can use it to introduce some new concepts.
