Of Mice and Men | Loneliness | Quotation Evaluation | Close Reading

(0)
Seven tasks on seven double-sided worksheets. Each task focuses on a quotation about loneliness, and features four points or ideas about the quotation. Students must evaluate how much they agree with the points, rank them, and explain their reasoning… but beware - one point in each four is totally inaccurate! Use individually as bell-ringers, brain breaks, or give groups of students different quotations for a more developed discussion lesson. These worksheets are double-sided and come with answer keys to show the inaccurate points. I have also provided US letter and UK A4 size documents, and spellings for both the US and the UK.
