Read the book or excerpts in class. Many students have difficulty with the dialect of ‘bindle stiffs’, so you may want to model it first. I read this book to my 5th period class and it was one of the most enjoyable moments of teaching this year. 2. Show the movie, “Of Mice and Men”. 3. Have students act out different segments of the story. 4. Listen to the podcast of the story.
