Summary:
The Of Mice and Men Philip Allan Literature Guide Teacher Resource Pack provides teachers with all the support they need to teach Of Mice and Men in the context of the new GCSE English Literature specifications. This classroom-based resource is for use throughout the GCSE course to help consolidate students' knowledge, learning and appreciation of the text and will leave students better prepared for their exams.
Covering all aspects of the novel, a whole range of higher- and lower-tier interactive activities, plus extension tasks for homework, can be used before, during and after students have read the text. Once students are familiar with the text, further exam revision activities, tailored to each exam specification, will ensure your students can reach the highest grades.
