Motif Map

Worksheet Description

This worksheet highlights motifs in Of Mice and Men. Students identify recurring ideas or images in the novel and then track one motif across multiple appearances in the text. They must cite passages and explain how the motif develops. This reinforces the connection between repetition and thematic depth.

Students learn to identify and interpret recurring elements in literature. They build analytical skills by tracing patterns and connecting them to broader themes. This sharpens their ability to use textual evidence effectively. It also strengthens critical thinking by encouraging attention to details that deepen a story’s meaning.
