Monday, Period 6 - Lamb to the slaughter

Objective: By the end of class,  students will analyze character in short fiction in order to improve reading comprehensive skills.

DO NOW

Add these three vocabulary words into your notebooks. Do not define the word by using another form of the word:

1. Certifiable - officially recognized as needing treatment for a mental disorder.

2. Validate - check or prove the accuracy of something

3. Premeditate - think out or plan beforehand

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

Use the handout / organizer to provide EVIDENCE from the text that supports each of the above in the appropriate boxes. Be sure to provide a page number and an EXACT quote from the text to support the statement in each box.

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.
