Title | British Literature Kit for “The Landlady” |
Body | From http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/try/resources/britlit/the-landlady ‘The Landlady' is a short story by Roald Dahl. The material in this BritLit Kit is divided into three sections: Pre-reading, Context, and Word Work ‘Pre-reading' (pdf) examines who Billy and the landlady are and asks the students to speculate on what they might look like. This is an essential activity to do before the task of reading the story. After Landlady text (pdf) has been read - or the Landlady Audio 1-4 (mp3) listened to - there are some activities in Landlady Context (pdf) which look at some of the issues that can be explored from the story: the year in which it was set (1959), embalming, taxidermy, witchcraft and a look at some famous poisoners! Landlady Word Work (pdf) takes some aspects of language in use from the text - the use of reflexive pronouns and a ‘glossary' of words and phrases used in the story. You can find the answers to activities and exercises plus some suggestions in Landlady Key (pdf). Access this kit at http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/try/resources/britlit/the-landlady . |
