Of Mice and Men Essay Planning Tool (WJEC)

Of Mice and Men Essay Planning Tool support learners to plan responses for whole text questions in the GCSE English Literature Unit 1 exam (WJEC).

The use of shapes supports some learners in planning more effectively than bullet points/mind-maps. In this resource, the triangle shape reminds learners of the importance of the rule of three when producing whole text responses. Additionally, having a set space for each element of planning ensures that no element of the success criteria is missed.

This resource helps learners to plan for:

• context
• content
• analysis/evaluation
• quotation

This pack contains:

• a blank template
• a labeled template
• a plan for a Curley’s Wife question
• a plan for a Crooks question
• a plan for a George & Lennie question

At the end, there is a blank circle template in case any learners find this shape more manageable when planning.
