“The Lamb to the Slaughter” PROJECT

After reading “Lamb to the Slaughter,” and researching Roald Dahl and Crime Scene Forensics, select 1 of the 3 projects below to complete. You may work individually or with a partner, but since there are 26 students in our class, there will be no groups of three.

You will write a 2-3 page mystery story to be solved by the class.

You will have two or three characters from the story to interview and you may ask your classmates to fill the character parts, however, these parts will not take the place of your classmates’ other projects since I have already clarified that you can have only 2 people per group.

Use the same characters, but change the ending.
