John Steinbeck's classic novel "Of Mice and Men" is rich with meaning, figurative language, and historical knowledge. In this self-paced course, learners will interact with this text at their own pace, improving their reading, writing, and analysis skills along the way. After an introductory lesson, in which we explore the historical context of The Great Depression, learners will read a section of the novel before beginning each lesson. In each lesson, learners will first answer comprehension questions to ensure that they understood the basic plot of the section and remind them of anything they missed or forgot. Then, they will interact with powerpoint presentations, writing exercises, and other activities to help them better understand the literary depth of each section. Over the course of the unit, learners will specifically hone their skills in characterization, setting, simile, metaphor, foreshadowing, and how these literary elements work together to create theme and meaning in a text. Learners will be able to come to their own conclusions and be encouraged to find textual evidence to back up their ideas.
