Description
Have your students demonstrate their understanding of “The Landlady” by Roald Dahl by creatively blending written analysis with visual elements drawn from the text using this one-pager reading comprehension project. Students use evidence from the short story to transform key ideas into meaningful illustrations and written responses.
This short story one-pager activity encourages close reading and critical thinking as students analyze important literary elements such as theme, foreshadowing, and conflict. The project provides a creative way for students to synthesize their understanding while still demonstrating strong comprehension skills.
Completed projects result in unique and creative analyses of the literature and also make eye-catching bulletin boards and classroom displays that showcase student learning.
