Tom Sutliff
Albemarle County Public Schools
Seventh Grade

Mr. Sutliff has chosen a story, "The Landlady," by Roald Dalh, from the adopted literature series, but he anticipates that it may be beyond the instructional reading level for some of his students. He also knows that making inferences and reading fluently are both challenging, so he designs a lesson using Readers’ Theater and a graphic organizer to help improve both.

Below are the links to Mr. Sutliff’s lesson. For a complete view, follow the series in order by using the Next or Previous buttons to navigate through the lesson. It may be beneficial to print the observation checklist included with the Resources before you begin and complete it while viewing the lesson.
