This engaging and interesting lesson aims to improve students’ knowledge of the final events of the novel (the killing of Lennie by his best friend, George) in John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men. It also aims to build their skills in retrieving information from texts, understanding the writer’s ideas and opinions, and making precise and confident interpretations about texts.
The lesson uses a range of tasks, that require students to use their visual and interpersonal skills. It follows this learning journey:
- Reading, and interpreting the ending of the text;
- Inferring the hidden meanings in the final section of the text;
- Identifying the options available to George, and evaluating the pros and cons for each of them;
- Arguing a viewpoint either justifying or condemning George’s actions;
- Evaluating each others’ argumentative attempts.
The resource includes a comprehensive and visually engaging PowerPoint presentation, a worksheet to evaluate George’s reasoning, an abstract from the text, a help-sheet for writing to analyse, and a lesson plan/ teacher guidance sheet.
All images in this resource are licensed for commercial use, and are cited on the final slide of the lesson presentation.
