Lamb To The Slaughter


Task Description: This week we read a short story by Rolad Dahl, who is a famous author and a author you may be familair with. We read the story and were quite shocked at what had happened it wasn't really a book for kids like us. It was about a women who murdered her husband with a frozen lamb leg, who then went on too lie to the police and make up stories. 

When we had finished reading the short story we analyzed the story. We looked at the setting character realationships, and message the story gave us. We also did an irony chart, and a bunch of questions about irony in the story. This wasn't too diffucult but it did take some thought and time to answer each question carefully.

Once we finished analyzing we did a book review along with a create task. Our task was to make a character map for Mary who is the wife of the husband who was murdered. We had to include things like her traits problems she faced solutions she used and how she changed throught the story. I enjoyed this part of the task as it was easy and kind of like a overall look on Mary's life and her actions.

That's all we did. I hope you enjoyed this task and will come back next week to see more!
