Year 10: Term 5

This term we will be continuing our study of Of Mice and Men. You'll have a week and a half to finish the controlled assessment piece of writing before we turn our attention to the exam.

Your Of Mice and Men exam is on Tuesday 22 May.

To be fully prepared for the exam you should be re-reading your copy of the novel at home - at least twice before the exam.

You should also be making sure you have a full understanding of The Great Depression and how it affected everyday life in America - especially the impact for the characters in the novel (i.e. women's rights for Curley's wife and racial tension and equality for Crooks).

There is no formal homework for the first week because we are concentrating on the controlled assessment however do your background work so you're prepared for the exam preparation to come.
