Hi folks,
As you already know, my tip for the Of Mice and Men question is... Curley.
In a recent lesson, we tried to predict a part b question (remember, a related discursive essay that requires you to refer to context) to follow up a possible Curley extract question.
Here's what we came up with:
In the rest of the novel, how does Steinbeck show that life on a ranch in 1930s America is all about survival of the fittest?
And here's the plan we came up with (coutesy of Lindsey's exercise book).
I'd recommend starting with an intro which discusses how Steinbeck first introduces this theme in chapter 1 (eg. nature distrubed by humans, heron & water snake, George comparing Lennie to a coyote etc).
Here's the rest of the plan:
Now for a useful revision task, fill out this plan with key quotes from the text. And why not write it up? You bring it - I'll mark it.
I'll be blogging later about an 'An Inspector Calls' question.
Happy revising!
Mr M
