This 23-slide lesson explores Chapter 1 of John Steinbeck’s ‘Of Mice and Men’.
Students are encouraged to think about Steinbeck’s idyllic opening setting and how the tranquil calm of nature is shattered by the arrival of two nomadic men with a mysterious past. The lesson invites students to analyse the juxtaposition of Lennie and George and to predict what will be their fate in the rest of the novella based on the key themes introduced in this opening chapter.
Questions, discussion points, and tasks are included for students in a PowerPoint that could easily stretch across two lessons.
Ideal for upper-KS3 or GCSE students.
PowerPoint saved as PDF.
