<p>This series of four lessons on Roald Dahl’s ‘Lamb to the Slaughter’ breaks the story into four extracts and four distinct but interconnected lessons.</p> <p>Lesson 1: 16 slides<br /> Lesson 2: 16 slides<br /> Lesson 3: 14 slides<br /> Lesson 4: 16 slides</p> <p>Each lesson contains key questions and tasks relating to the story. Students are encouraged to think about Dahl’s suspense, characterisation, and use black humour. Key vocabulary is introduced and Dahl’s structure is dissected, with students making predictions and debating what might happen next as the story progresses. The nature of Mary Maloney’s marriage is discussed, as is the significance of her pregnancy, and the symbolic use of the leg of lamb in her infamous crime. At the end of the fourth lesson, we think about how Dahl uses the story symbolically and allegorically to comment on attitudes to gender in the 1950s.</p> <p>Questions, discussion points, and tasks are included for students. There are multiple tasks to strengthen analytical writing (with clearly structured model paragraphs included), and more creative tasks are featured, too, including diary entries and newspaper writing.</p> <p>Copies of all four extracts are included in this resource.</p> <p>There are at least 4 lessons here, but - depending on the pace of your classes - this could be stretched into more. This series of lessons is ideal for KS3.</p> <p>PowerPoints and extracts are saved as PDFs.</p>

<p>This is a bundle of resources (16 in total) which include worksheets, differentiated work, comprehension questions and activities, as well as a variety of planned assessment options. There is more than you would ever need included in this pack, allowing for teacher/student personalisation throughout the unit.</p>

<p>Product Description<br /> This Reading Comprehension worksheet is suitable for higher elementary to proficient ESL learners or native English speakers. The text is a summary/ short story based on Roald Dahl’s “The Witches”.</p> <p>The “Boy” listens closely to his Grandmamma’s stories about the horrid witches, but nothing can prepare him for the day he comes face-to-face with The Grand High Witch herself…</p> <p>After carefully reading the text, students are required to complete some comprehension exercises including comprehension questions, a character match, a crossword, and True or False exercises, a multiple choice exercise and a fill in the gaps. The text can be used for vocabulary building purposes. This handout can be completed in class or assigned for homework.</p>

<p>This is my best selling primary resource and is a set of lessons and activities for KS2 poetry work. These would also be ideal for use around National Poetry Day or World Poetry Day.</p> <p>The lessons are based on ‘Revolting Rhymes’ by Roald Dahl. All lesson resources, differentiated activities and planning are provided as part of the pack.</p> <p>I have used this pack for a week of activities linked to Revolting Rhymes, as well as for a one-off lesson on Poetry Day. It could also be used for a set of guided reading activities.</p> <p>The teaching PowerPoint contains some background and introduction, as well as examples for modelling and discussing each independent task. The PowerPoint and the task sheets are provided in Word and pdf format.</p> <p>There are 5 independent activities, so the pack can be used for a whole week or just for 1 or 2 lessons. Focus can also be on one of the Rhymes or on all six, depending on your requirements.</p> <p>The flexibility of the lessons and the entertaining nature of the text means that I have been able to use this pack in Years 4 to 6, but it can also be easily adapted for younger children.</p> <p>Please note: some video links are included in the sessions, which should always be assessed for suitability prior to use! Also, as is well known, Cinderella is called a ‘slut’ at one point, so be prepared!</p> <p>Includes:<br /> *Teacher PowerPoint presentation<br /> *5 independent task sheets for support or structure<br /> *Challenge tasks are built into the PowerPoint slides<br /> *Full planning grid, linked to English curriculum</p> <p>Please see the Goldtopfox shop for more helpful English and general teaching resources:<br /> <a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/goldtopfox">https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/goldtopfox</a></p>

<p>17 lessons on based on Roald Dahl’s ‘Boy’. I find it takes longer than 17 lessons as the reading tends to take longer, so probably more like 20-25 lessons worth.</p> <p>We use this as our introductory SOW for year 7 so fit for mixed ability groups.</p>

This is a lesson used with bottom set year 7 who require a lot of help and scaffolding. Based on the section in Boy by Roald Dahl, towards the start, in which he describes his school. Pupils read the section and then answer some comprehension questions, followed by planning and writing a description. Attached also is the writing frame I used to support the pupils in their planning.

<p>This presentation (Powerpoint) covers a HUGE range of learning areas that are available in the novel The Witches by Roald Dahl.<br /> Starting with the history of witches and going through the book itself, author, publisher. We then delve into the characters that are in this story (of which there are plenty). Then we explore Settings, what they are and the different settings that are portrayed throughout the story.<br /> In every story, there are conventions that the author uses and this is no different in The Witches, There is Exposition, Rising action, climax and then Resolution. Each of these areas is explored in detail. Plot and Theme are also touched on.<br /> This presentation was used over the course of a term as students read through the novel, it was accompanied by worksheets that were generic but could change with the different content in the presentation. i.e. when looking at settings the questions were similar but a different setting was explored each lesson.<br /> You could take the bits you need or use it as a whole presentation. A fabulous resource when teaching this novel.</p> <p>P.s - There are some pictures with eyes and a man looking over his shoulder in the upper left of some slides. These are there to remind students to look back through the book at something they have already discussed, or look into something with more detail.</p>
