Crime Stories - Creative Writing with 'Lamb to the Slaughter'

An engaging and enthralling PowerPoint presentation based around having students create a short story based on crime fiction. The series of lessons start by focusing on Roald Dahl's 'Lamb to the Slaughter' and include activities on characterisation and plot, as well as the ever-popular 'Trial of Mary Maloney' lesson. Afterwards pupils will work to create and plan a short story based on their own crime using various helpful activities and exercises. Dotted throughout are 'Crime of the Lesson' anagram starters to help students engage from the moment they step in your class.
