1 Your Name: Of Mice and Men English 20-2 Booklet As we finish each chapter you will be expected to complete the corresponding graphic organizer as well as choosing a life quote. Final Assignments when the novel is complete: 1. You will write a final written response to one of the life quotes. 2. Complete 2 post secrets. 3. Unit Exam 4. Five Paragraph Essay
2 Help Lennie Find His Way Chapter One (pgs. 1-16): Map Assignment At the end of the first chapter George tells Lennie to remember the place they are spending the night, and to come back there if he finds himself in any kind of trouble. Knowing Lennie s past, we can assume that this location will play a major role in the novel. Therefore, it is important that you take the time to visualize the setting. This assignment requires you to: * carefully read over the first few pages which describe the setting. Using the details visualize what the setting might look like. There are some very specific details regarding location of some of the geological features. * create a map, as described in the novel, including all the geographical features with the names of places. To help Lennie to read the map you should clearly identify the following names and geographic features on your map: 1. the town of Soledad 7. the pool (Lennie drinks from) 2. the Gabilan mountains 8. the brush 3. the Salinas river 9. the sand bank 4. the ranch they are heading to 10. the fire pits from the other men 5. the highway 6. the beaten path Lennie and George follow to the pool You should also include a DIRECTION GUIDE indicating North, South, East and West. Don t worry too much about how good the drawing of the map is. It is not an art or geography lesson. What it should give you is a very clear idea of how the novel begins and how it establishes mood and setting. The use of colour is strongly encouraged!! Do this assignment on a separate sheet of paper.

Identify the main themes from the novel and provide an example to show the connection. Theme Example from novel POST SECRETS
20 READ THIS OVER AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU NEED TO DO: THIS IS ALL INDIVIDUAL WORK a b c Look over the examples of Post Secrets in the powerpoint, and the ones about Curley s wife. Your FIRST task today is simply to UNDERSTAND the nature of the product you will have to create on. Brainstorm ideas. You are representing people who have no voice...this is your VOICE to the world...on their/his/her behalf. THINK ABOUT IT. Ask questions if you don t get it. You have to imagine what your focus person would say to the world IF anyone would listen. In some cases, you may have to help the person articulate their thoughts. A guy like Lennie has very simple thoughts. You might add improved thoughts for him... so that the world would understand him differently. You get to choose from four main characters: Lennie, George, Candy or Crooks. You have to do two of the four. Next, you need to create 2 POST-SECRET cards. SKETCH THEM OUT in your Of Mice and Men booklet. I would be delighted if you would also include a post-secret for yourself, but that is not assigned for grades! Place your full name on the BACK of your card. d Submit your post secret, along with the following explanations : 1. Say WHY you chose to represent this person in this way. Why do you feel this character has a secret. Do some careful reflection. Answer this carefully. Your explanations are being graded, too, so write in a way that seeks to CLARIFY your thoughts, your purpose and your intentions. An essential question you are answering: What is his secret? 2. Now get closer to the elements of your post-secret: Why did you choose the specific words that are on your post-secret card? ***NOTE: You cannot use quotes from the novel. You must write your own words. 3. Why did you choose the specific images and colours that are on your post-secret card? Why did you display your post secret that way that you did? You need to explain what effect (mood/feeling) your image(s) has on the viewer. What was your purpose? NOTE: No literal images, please. No images from the movie, please. (No ketchup bottles or rabbits, please.)

23 Evaluation Rubric Post Secret (image and message) (5 x 2) 5 Excellent: Image and message are skillfully and artistically presented. Image and message are thoughtfully chosen and clearly linked to each other. The post -secret connection to the character being represented is clear and creative. The idea chosen is unique in its thoughtfulness, showing power and sensitivity in the understanding the character. 4 Proficient: Image and message are presented in a straightforward, and pleasing manner. Both the image and message are noticeable, and the connection is relevant. Connection to character being represented is obvious and logical. The idea shows depth of understanding of the character. 3 Satisfactory: Image and message are presented in a conventional manner. There is little originality in the image and message. The image and message are straightforward and conventional, however, the connection between the image and the message may not be immediately apparent. Connection to character is straightforward; little creativity is demonstrated. 2 Limited: Does not meet the statistical requirements as set out in the assignment. The image and/or message presented is either lacking or superficial. Either the image and/or the message fails to show an understanding of the designated-character being represented. If there is a connection it is weak. 1 Poor: Does not meet statistical requirements as set out in assignment. Image and/or message is (are) either lacking, inappropriate or absent. No attempt to connect to the character being represented. The post-secret is a commercially prepared product simply force-fitted to meet this assignment. Secret 1: Secret 2: Ideas and Impressions - Written Component (5 x 2) 5 Excellent: Full explanation of the post secret is given. All questions were answered with detail and insight. Connection to the character is clearly identified. The student has gone to great lengths to help the marker understand the focus of the post secret. 3 Satisfactory: Student has given an appropriate yet generalized response to the post secret. The information provided explains the obvious. Student does not explore why or how the post secret exposes the character. Generally answered all the questions in the assignment, but did not provide much detail. 1 Poor: Explanation of the post secret is underdeveloped or incomplete. Information does not explain the purpose of the post secret to the character. Did not answer all the questions, or was ambiguous. Secret 1: Secret 2: TOTAL: /40 Life Quote marking: Of Mice and Men
24 Your life quote toppers (the context and the content analysis portions) were part of the booklet. Therefore, this part of the life quote marking is based solely on the personal reflection. There are two categories: the ideas and support and the writing skills. Ideas and Impressions: *When marking Ideas and Impressions, the marker should consider the quality of: ~the student s exploration of the topic (that you chose!) ~the student s ideas and support for the ideas 5 The composition is engaging in a meaningful way. The connection to the life quote is powerful and fully believable. The response is developed so as to truly explore personal thoughts and feelings. 4 The composition is strong and clearly connected to the life quote in a sincere way. The response is developed reasonably and with purpose. 3 The composition is reasonably connected to the life quote. The development is adequate. Personal/global examples are provided to clarify the connection. 2 The composition is in response to a life quote, but does not develop a strong personal connection. The ideas are declared, but not discussed. Examples are only marginally supportive or are inadequately explored. 1 The composition is superficially connected to the life quote. The development is inadequate. Examples are absent or are presented without personal explanation of relevance. Writing Skills *When marking the writing skills, the marker should consider: ~the quality and correctness of language and expression in relation to complexity and length of response (including grammar, spelling, punctuation). ~the effectiveness of voice in relation to the context created 5 The writing is purposeful, engaging, skillful, precise, convincing and distinct. There is a distinct command of language conventions and rules. The student s voice and/or a unifying effect is a commanding feature of the writing. 3 The writing is conventional, appropriate, adequate and straightforward. Conventions are controlled in an undemanding and/or awkward manner. Although control of language is clear, there are occasional lapses and minor errors. 1 The writing is ineffectual, rudimentary, faltering and/or weak. Conventions are weakly controlled, awkward and/or ambiguous. There is a faltering control of writing, so that communication is blurred. The development is inadequate.
