Objectives
• Students will understand the nature of a study guide by reading Mr. Lettiere’s study guide.
• Students will understand the nature of a self-created study guide by being guided through “Mining for Examples.” For a partial sample of what Merryhill School students in Milpitas, California, created as a study guide for Of Mice and Men, see “Mining for Examples – Sample Project.”
• Students will be able to create their own, unique study guide for Of Mice and Men.
Overview
Study guides are important to understanding a novel; however, they should never replace actual reading and discussion of the novel.
Although there are many “study guides” for Of Mice and Men available on the Internet, the one below by English teacher, Mr. Lettiere, is particularly useful for students who are not yet proficient in reading and writing. There are many good suggestions in his guide.
However, the best study guides are ones created by students themselves. Please refer to, “Mining for Examples – Sample Project.” for a partial sample of what Merryhill School students in Milpitas, California, created as a study guide for Of Mice and Men.
Whenever students are involved in creating their own curriculum, they tend to succeed.
Materials Needed/Preparation
• Copies of Of Mice and Men.
• Access to Mr. Lettiere’s study guide (see links below).
• Refer to “Mining for Examples” for further details. See “Mining for Examples – Sample Project” for a sample of a study guide for Of Mice and Men created by students from Merryhill School in Milpitas, California.

Estimated Time
