Crooks Analysis - Of Mice and Men

A comprehensive analysis of the role of Crooks in Of Mice and Men. I could never find a resource on the TES that covered this important character to my liking - so I made one. Hope it helps.

Lesson structure is as follows:

1. Read an extract from the text and answer a differentiated question.
2. Read the description of Crook’s room and find a quote that matches/supports each icon on the worksheet included.
3. Discussion of key quotation with differentiated support.
4. Radar chart of reader’s emotions towards Crooks (with leveled extension tasks).
5. Scavenger Hunt for historical and societal context - students move around room equipped the worksheet included and read from six contextual information slides (ideally blown up to A3) and complete their context sheets. Each context slide has a challenge task attached to push students towards their aspirational goals.
6. Exit Card Plenary Question - student’s design a multiple choice question and hand to teacher on their out of the class ready so we can use them for to start the following lesson.
