The Allegory of Of Mice and Men

Today's Goal: Identify the connections between the social issues we've been reading about and the characters in Of Mice and Men

We shall share out our reading first, and you as a listener will take notes on the important points that the speaker makes, without judgement or opinion. (This is an opportunity to listen and absorb, not argue or persuade.)

Then, when this is done and you have submitted your jigsaw notes to me, you have three options:

1. Work on Book Love (Our chat is tomorrow. If you come with an empty document, you will not get to participate. You will not get the points for Oral Communication.)
2. Begin working on your Essay Prep.
3. Complete your last No Red Ink activity (your final WILL have things related to the most recent assignment)
