Of Mice and Men Classroom Questions: A Teaching Guide (Scene by Scene Classroom Questions)

Scene by Scene guides are teaching resources. They are short books of questions, designed to save teachers time and lead to rewarding classroom experiences. Each guide is broken down by scene or chapter, to match and complement the text it accompanies. This means that the teacher is provided with a clear list of questions, at every stage of teaching the text. These questions can be used in class, or as homework, and so provide underlying structure to lesson planning. Scene by Scene Classroom Questions contain both closed, comprehension testing questions, and open, higher order questions, exploring student response, opinion and analysis. Closed questions can be used to check understanding and make sure students are on-task, while open questions promote thinking and reflection. In this way, Scene by Scene Classroom Questions keep students engaged with and focused on the text, and involved in classroom discussion.

Of Mice and Men Scene by Scene is a teacher's companion guide to Steinbeck's classic intended for use in lesson planning and in the classroom. It provides 32 teacher pointers which flag the key elements in the play. There are a further 79 questions to provoke student engagement and personal response.
