This lesson is an end of a topic lesson based on the shooting of Lennie. Pupils will learn how to write an eyewitness account based on Of Mice and Men. I used an update to date issue as an example of an eyewitness account from the terrorist attack at the Bataclan theatre, Paris; this ensures pupils are using a modern resource but you can also discuss British Values. I used this with a top set year 9 (low achieving school) but it is easily adaptable. Includes Powerpoint and differentiated resource.
