Hello Year 11,

Read the message below to complete your homework, which is due on Wednesday 20th September 2015.

As you know, we need to keep fresh on certain topics that we’re currently not studying in class. So, below is a link to a passage from ‘Of Mice and Men’ , it is a past paper from a few years ago, page 9. Have a look at the extract and answer part a. You should aim to write 3 PEE paragraphs and spend 20 minutes. Some of you will use more than 3 quotations which is fine and advised as long as you explain them. However, you should all remember that close language analysis is necessary so zooming on key words will get you more marks.

 

At this early stage in the year I would advise you to get a wallet that you can keep especially for revision notes and homework tasks.

Although the task is 20 mins it will be longer with revision time. Below are links to the PDF book ‘Of Mice and Men’ and the audio book on You Tube.
