Text annotation and essay – Of Mice and Men

Assessment focuses: AF2, AF3, AF4, AF5, AF6

Context

As part of a longer sequence of work on the novel, pupils re-read the fight scene between Curley and Lennie from John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men as a whole class and then individually. They annotated the text in detail, discussing key points as a whole class and then wrote up their ideas as a commentary on the extract. In groups they then discussed the ending of the novel, identifying features and aspects they thought effective before writing an essay individually.

Whole pages from Of Mice and Men that feature the annotated text have not been included here due to copyright restrictions.
