OF MICE AND MEN notes IGCSE Edexcel

Hi since it’s nearly the English literature igcse exam I thought it would be useful to share my notes for Of Mice and Men I made last year. It includes all the characters, themes, along with the analysis, quotations, and historical context.

I got a 9 last year so feel free to ask anything.
Hope this helps

Hi thanks for the notes, my mocks are coming up next week, right now I am on track for a grade 7 in mice and men with a low mark in AO1 even though I understand the text, can you give me any tis on how you structured your paragraphs (PEEL,PETAL etc.) and could you also give me tips on what to put in the introduction of each essay (like a formulaic layout), because I think I loose quiet a few ao1 marks in the intro as it isn't grade 9 level. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

Hi the first paragraph you should briefly mention what you will be writing about. Then for each analysis, you should mention 1-2 quotes, expand/analyse then repeat. I normally write around 2-3 analysis paragraphs + introduction + conclusion

Absolute lifesaver but how much context is expected to be put in each paragraph?

I would say 1-2 quotes per paragraph + expand each thoroughly
