✅ Persuasive Essay
✅ Optional presentation and discussion

LAMB TO THE SLAUGHTER Activities:
✨ Pre-Reading Simulation: Students will work to discover Mrs. Maloney’s guilt and motive. In this simulation, students will have to note certain facts and make certain key inferences before you, the Police Chief, approve them to continue. You will check in with groups and then give them the next text as they gather the necessary information. By the end, students will present their theories as to “Who dunnit?”. Then, they’ll read the original story (provided by you via the internet or your Lit Anthology) and read the real outcome.

✨ Persuasive Essay: After reading the story, students write a closing argument for Mrs. Maloney’s defense lawyer or for the prosecution. We all know she’s guilty at this point, so the assignment is really about citing textual evidence and supporting claims.

✨ Optional Presentation: The short essay is persuasive and dramatic! I always have a few students who want to act theirs out. You can really let students ham it up. 🙂

“This was a highly engaging lesson, very well thought out, easy to teach, with lots of opportunity for active participation. It's perfect for a high-energy group of Jr. High students representing a wide range of strengths and challenges. Because there is room built in to monitor discussions for participation, this also allowed me to add a speaking/listening outcome to the marking scheme quite handily.”
