Of Mice and Men worksheets

Worksheets created for SEN pupils working through the Entry Pathways English syllabus, in particular exploring events and characters in audio-visual texts. Providing clear evidence for AC 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5. They can also be used for evidencing coursework of other qualifications.
We watched Of Mice and Men.
Some pupils ordered the main events which were photocopied on A3 and cut up.
Pupils detail what happens in the moments before, during and after four given key events in the text.
They then look in detail at the theme of violence throughout the text. They create a violence map showing who is involved in any acts of violence.
Pupils answer questions on who is most violent, why and how the characters' actions affect the way we feel about them. They discuss whether Lennie is a violent man or someone who accidentally performs violent acts, whether violence is seen as acceptable on the ranch with examples. These questions are either read and written independently by the pupils or discussed with a member of staff who then writes their comments down as evidence.
