This 28-slide lesson on ‘Of Mice and Men’ introduces the key context vital to understanding Steinbeck’s classic novella, as well as functioning as a general introduction to studying the text.

The lesson includes key information about the Depression, the Dust Bowl, racism, patriarchal pressures and other prejudice during the 1930s in America. Steinbeck’s own life is also covered, as well as the meaning behind the text’s title, and students are invited to analyse various book jacket designs for the novella.

Key themes are explored alongside a comprehensive introduction to the American Dream and its role in the novella.

Questions and tasks are also included for students to tackle.

It's got lots of good information but only being a PDF makes it awkward, especially for schools that require specific information on the powerpoints.
