Of Mice and Men: Chapter 2 Reading and Study Guide

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Provide your class with this reading guide for chapter two of Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men. They grapple with new vocabulary words like swamper, cesspool, and mollified before checking out literary terms and answering a list of questions relating to the text. Most of the questions focus on plot recall, although some do require higher level thinking.
