About the American Film Institute
The American Film Institute, the nation's preeminent arts organization dedicated to advancing and preserving the art of the moving image, is committed to informing the general public about the artistic and cultural significance of the motion picture.
About the Film, "Of Mice and Men"
In collaboration with the Montgomery County Public Schools, AFI has prepared a viewing guide to assist teachers with presenting the 1992 film Of Mice and Men, directed by Gary Sinise, in conjunction with the 1937 novel, written by John Steinbeck. This film provides an excellent opportunity to educate students about the medium of film while reinforcing the literary significance of Steinbeck's story.
About the Guide
The guide is designed to provide examples of how to use film language to complement the study of the novel in the classroom and fulfill the objectives of the viewing component of the English curriculum. Written assignments in the guide provide opportunities for students to practice skills required on the High School Assessment tests. Please feel free to print the guide, copy it, and use it with your students.
