English 9 10/26/17 Mr. Verutes Aim: How do we prepare to read a novel? What elements of fiction and background information affect our understanding of Of Mice and Men? Do Now: Begin reading page one of the Of Mice and Men packet. Pay attention to the “Literary Elements,” “Background,” and “About the Author” sections on the first page. Underline/highlight any key terms or important ideas mentioned in the reading. Then, summarize the main idea of each paragraph of the “About the Author” and “Background” sections in the margins of the handout.

Do Now Share What did we learn about the author or the novel from the “Background” and “About the Author” sections of the handout?

Literary Elements Atmosphere/Mood – the feeling that the author communicates through description of the setting or action in the text. As you begin reading, consider the mood Steinbeck achieves through the description that we get of the clearing near the pool in the opening of the novel. Foreshadowing – the clues that the author incorporates to hint at later plot events. As you read, consider what earlier plot events foreshadow later in the text. Consider the incidents involving Candy’s dog and Lennie’s puppy.

Literary Elements Conflict – the problem or struggle experienced by a main character in a literary work. As you read, consider the different conflicts that the main characters Lennie and George face. Symbol – a person, place, or thing in a literary work that stands for a larger idea. As you are reading, consider: What does Candy’s dog symbolize? What do the rabbits (in Lennie’s vision of the future) symbolize?

Classwork Activity Begin completing the Approaching the Text row of the Questioning Texts worksheet with the information you gained from reading page one of the OMAM packet. Complete the Reading Purpose row of the Questioning Texts Worksheet by writing our purpose for reading: To consider how an author uses details to communicate larger ideas. Answer “What do I already understand about the text?” based on the publication information of the novel as well as your reading of the “Background,” and “About the Author” sections on the first page of the OMAM packet. Next, add the following guiding questions to the Questioning the Text row: What do I think the text is mainly about? What is the author’s stance or attitude about the topic or theme? Complete the Text-Specific Question row of the Guiding Questions Worksheet by adding the questions: “According to Steinbeck, what are the benefits and costs of brotherhood? What does it mean to belong to a fraternity?” “According to Steinbeck, why and how do human beings act as predators of one another? “What theme does Steinbeck communicate about the American Dream?”
