Students are given nine statements about Goole which they have to support with appropriate quotations (I have compiled some quotations as 'answers'.)

An explanation sheet of what is expected in each part of a PEEZE paragraph and gives students a chance to look at model PEEZE paragraphs before attempting their own. Resource based on 'Of Mice and Men' but can easily be adapted to other literature texts as appropriate. Used with top set Year 9 group as a whole class activity, possibly could be adapted as a H/W task for GCSE students.

Grid to support writing about the character of Crooks. Can easily be adapted for most abilities, used this with my (lower) mixed ability Year Nines. I provided points, gave specific page numbers for Section Four so they could find relevant quotations and sentence starters for their explanations. Page numbers refer to the Penguin edition 'Of Mice and Men' (pictured in cover image.) Could be used when teaching Section Four. I'm expecting they'll be able to use this grid to support them in writing an analysis assessment - consisting of around 4/5 paragraphs, analysing the character of Crooks; could be adapted to other characters.
