Of Mice and Men: Activity Pack for CCEA GCSE

Of Mice and Men has survived yet another dramatic change in the CCEA GCSE specification. And why? Simply because students love the story of tragedy, loneliness, but above all, hope. This activity pack provides a variety of stimulating, ready-to-use activities, allowing students to develop a detailed understanding of all aspects of Steinbeck’s powerful novel.

Activities include:

  • Insightful questions
  • Stimulating reading and writing tasks
  • Pair and group work
  • Creative activities for visual and kinaesthetic learners
  • Appealing tasks based on modern media
  • Quiz questions

Carefully considered structure develops understanding:

  1. Build a foundation for learning and get students interested with introductory pre-reading exercises.
  2. Dig deeper with text-based activities. Every key event is explored through a range of thought-provoking tasks.
  3. Consolidate knowledge with whole-text activities focusing on: Characterisation • Relationships • Setting • Themes • Ideas and Messages • Language • Form • Structure • Context

Well informed, well researched and professionally presented
