Should Of Mice and Men Be Taught in Schools?

Once a very popular text, Of Mice and Men is rapidly disappearing from English curricula across the world.

This worksheet is aimed at encouraging debate about the book.

Students read two essays: one arguing it should be taught in schools; one arguing it should not be taught.

Students then discuss the merits of each argument and decide which viewpoint they most agree with.

Also includes a model script for a 4 person discussion about whether the book should be taught to guide students on how they should make points and respond to each other.
