Of Mice and Men Context Booklet

For Edexcel IGCSE Literature, pupils need to include lots of relevant context in their exam essays on the novel. I have designed this booklet as a handy way for students to collect lots of context stuff in a way that makes it easy to refer to and revise from.

There’s a page for exploring how the title, taken from Burns’ To a Mouse links to each chapter in the novel.

Next, there are pages dedicated to each chapter, with plenty of room for recording textual examples and quotations as well as context.

The final pages are organised by character, so the students can quickly revise the relevant context connected to each of them.

Please note: I haven’t included the contextual information in the booklet. This is merely a handy way of organising what they find out.
