Of Mice and Men and The American Dream - essay preparation
We created this pack for the students at our Independent School as we had to cram the teaching in to half a term. <br />
We are gearing towards them being able to answer a question like 'How does Steinbeck use language to portray the impossibility of The American Dream?'<br />
The pack contains a list of topics that will help them link back to this question, breaking the essay down into suggested paragraphs. Essentially this means you can teach directly towards the controlled assessment.<br />
Also included is a summary of the context and characters - although we would suggest asking them to also do their own research on The Great Depression and The American Dream.<br />
Finally you will find hand picked extracts from the novel which we have titled in relevance to what theme they would fall under. We know a lot of our students won't cope with reading the whole book so this is a quick and concise way of navigating them to the appropriate sections.<br />
Hope it's useful!
