Holiday Homework
We've come to the end of out work on LOTF now. You should have now a comprehensive set of notes in your books. (Click here for further notes) This should include:
- character studies with quotations and link to themes
- chapter studies with quotations and link to themes
- sample exam answers
Obviously, we will revise much of this before your exam, but you really need to ensure that you have this work. Basically, everything you do should have quotations and link to themes all over it!
Your holiday homework is to research the context of Of Mice and Men. You can have this as a poster or notes depending on what will be useful for you when you come to revise. You know the novel well, but you will also be asked to comment on the context in the exam. As I said in class, I am expecting you to spend 2 to 3 hours on this homework. Your homework should include:
- details on the life of a ranch worker at the time the novel was written
- understanding of the status of women, black people, the old and the disabled in the context
- definition of the American Dream and links to the novel
Here are some links to help you:
- Bitesize - loads of stuff to help!
- Sparknotes - awesome
- enotes - lots of text, but useful
- Not sure about this one, but let me know what you think...
If you find a good site, please leave the link in the comments box.
When we come back you'll have four lesson and then a Literature mock.
Let know please if you have any problems or concerns.
Best wishes,
Ms Caldwell
