I’m reposting this old file because it’s Roald Dahl’s centenary and because “The Landlady” is an exceptionally well written, suspenseful and eerie short story that cries out to be explored at Hallowe’en by both middle and high school students. (It is not to be missed if “foreshadowing” and “appearance versus reality” figure in your curriculum.)
I’ve summarized The Landlady and stirred the pieces in my cauldron. After your class has read the story, your students should be able to reconstitute the summary as a small group, co-operative activity.
Something went wrong, please try again later.
I think this would be a fun activity for kids of all ability levels. It helps student recognize the most important elements of a story and helps weaker students review a story in a fun and non-threatening way with a peer.
