Students work on various tasks based on Roald Dahl's short story 'The Landlady'.

The activity works best when you provide groups of students with 'missing person' texts, perhaps from 'The Big Issue', for research before they produce their own. Activities include:

  • comprehension questions based on the opening of the text
  • researching the presentational and stylistic features of a missing person advertisement
  • producing a 'missing' poster for Billy Weaver.
