"Lamb to the Slaughter" Mock Trial Directions

Created by

My students read "Lamb to the Slaughter" by Roald Dahl every fall and this mock trial is always a lesson they remember and ask to do over and over. Unfortunately it doesn't fit with every piece of literature. The lesson requires close reading, critical thinking, argument writing, oral communication, as well as comprehension of the story. This product includes a one-page directions sheet for the teacher, as well as directions to be printed and handed to each of the following: prosecution, defe

Created by

You need a quiz / test for Kurt Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron. Ten questions would be too short, but 20 conforms to all the expectations of society. That's why you need a 19-question multiple-choice test with no handicaps whatsoever. It's always fun to see if a bell curve emerges on these kinds of tests, but for this particular test, it would take on more meaning than usual. Also, be sure to the get free film version of this.

My 7th grade ELA class combines our argumentative writing unit with a mock trial based on the short story "Lamb to the Slaughter" by Roald Dahl. In our trial, we put the main character Mary Maloney on trial for the murder of her husband. We do two trials per class over the course of two days so every student gets the opportunity to be a part of the trial as well as be a part of the jury. The students assigned to the prosecution teams must argue that Mary Maloney killed her husband with intent. T

City Coucil Meeting

Created by

Angela Grider

This is an activity for a city council meeting. Students are broken up into groups and debate with the city council about whether or not to use tax money to pay for Disaster Kits. This is a good follow-up activity to talk about how to spend tax money or during a disaster preparedness unit. I've used it with my own class and it can be chaotic, but it's a ton of fun for the students.

Teachers show up! And when they are away, there’s a good reason. Snow Days do not stop them. Freezing rain does not make them flinch. Weather is no match for a teacher. But, sometimes, teachers are under the weather, or a family member is and needs tender, loving care. Sometimes, duty demands they be in some place other than their classroom. It could be for a professional training workshop, or serving the greater good. Whatever the good cause -- this is the “HELP!!” resource for those times. It
