Everything you need to stage a mock trial based on Roald Dahl's short story "Lamb to the Slaughter" in your classroom. The perfect activity if you...

• Want to teach Roald Dahl's short story in a fun way
• Are teaching persuasive speeches/essays
• Are teaching a unit on crime
• Want your students to speak more
• Want your students to really engage with a text
• Want your students to work together
• Need a fun end-of-the-year activity for your English classes

The material can be used with a strong year 9 or older. It fills at least a double period (without the reading of the text, which I would use at least another double period for).

No additional material is needed for the mock trial. You can find a link to Roald Dahl's text in the material, as well as lots of suggestions on how to use it in your classroom.

Have fun with the material! I always love to receive feedback on my material.
