 | After researching this time period, your task is to create a
collage which shows some aspect of the era in which Of Mice and Men
occurs, and which reflects the idea of loneliness, poverty,
desperation, racial prejudice, or another theme which you feel your
research suggests. |
| Your collage must include:
 | The title of your novel |
| The theme you are exploring |
| Direct quotations from real people who lived in this era |
| Direct quotations from the characters in the novel |
| Pictures from magazines, newspapers, and the Internet which
reflect your theme |
| There should be nothing in your collage that does not relate
to your theme. |
|
| Topics you must research are
- the Great Depression
- the Dust Bowl
- the plight of farmers |
- the life of migrant workers
- unemployment
- racial prejudice |
