Purchase Resources Separately
Of Mice and Men Chapter Questions
The 12 comprehension and literary analysis resources for John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men will give students repeated opportunities to practice essential literacy skills aligned to the Common Core State Standards. For every chapter, students will have to answer rigorous, text-based questions that assess not only their ability to comprehend but also their ability to analyze key events. With numerous options for implementation, the resource also allows for differentiation and can enable accommodation that will meet the needs of all learners. There are two sets of questions for each reading: Reading Response A (comprehension) and Reading Response B (analysis). The twin sets offer different levels of challenge for students to give you options for meeting the needs of all your learners.
Of Mice and Men Close Readings
The 6 close reading lessons explicitly focus on critical Common Core State Standards to develop students’ literacy proficiency. Using Of Mice and Men as the foundational text for close reading, each lesson focuses on a particular skill, such as setting, conflict, tone, and plot, and provides students an opportunity to develop and demonstrate their ability to perform that skill. The 6 argumentative writing exercises and resources will develop your students’ ability to make a claim, support that claim with evidence, and acknowledge opposing views. For each chapter, a debatable situation is presented. Students weigh which side they want to argue and then write an essay to support their view. A checklist of argumentative writing elements will help guide them along the way. The resources could supply homework, facilitate guided reading groups, or stimulate whole class literacy discussions for each chapter grouping. You can choose the purpose that best suits your students and your classroom.
Of Mice and Men Assessments
The standards-aligned assessments will help you measure your students’ comprehension of Of Mice and Men and their ability to apply the literary skills taught throughout the unit. The materials include 6 reading checks, 2 novel quizzes, 1 final assessment, and essay choice board.
Of Mice and Men Pre-Reading Resources
The pre-reading resources will help your students understand the key settings and time periods that shape Of Mice and Men. The 8 activities and 4 nonfiction readings will aid students’ comprehension by providing information about the context in which the novel’s events take place. Rather than wondering about what characters are talking about, they will become their own experts.
Of Mice and Men Vocabulary
The vocabulary resources will engage students in varied activities to expand their vocabulary. The resources include materials to help teach challenging vocabulary words in Of Mice and Men that will then build your students’ vocabulary. With 6 vocabulary lists of 10 words each and a crossword puzzle, practice assignment, and quiz for each set, the materials provide opportunities for differentiation to suit the needs of the classroom.
