Direct Instruction
Roald Dahl leaves a lot open to interpretation (allows the reader to INFER) many things throughout the story LTTS. Throughout the story, there is definitely EVIDENCE that supports each of the following:
1. Mary committed a crime of passion
2. Is certifiably insane
3. Is a cold-blooded killer that premeditated the whole murder
4. Mary Maloney is in a mentally abusive relationship
Guided / Independent

Check for understanding
Individual student checks during independent work.
Closure
Review for test - multiple choice and constructed response.
Exit Pass
Explain how BETRAYAL or DECEPTION would be appropriate THEMES for LTTS.
