6. Think about the ideas and organization Dahl uses.
• How does Dahl use the narrative technique of dialogue to develop the comic effect of the story? Find examples in the text.
• How does Dahl develop and contrast the points of view of different characters?
• Think about the traditional version of the story of Little Red Riding Hood. How does Dahl organize his narrative so that it imitates the original?
• How does Dahl organize his narrative so it is different from the original?
WRITING to SOURCES Creative Writing Prompt: With a partner, transform the story into a monologue that represents just one particular character’s point of view (the Wolf, Grandma, Red Riding Hood). Be sure to:
• Use monologue structure and features.
• Use Roald Dahl’s language and tone to guide your transformation.
Performing Your Monologue
7. Once you have written your monologue, prepare to perform it as an oral interpretation.
• Markthetexttoindicateeffectivevolume,rate(speed),pitch(highorlow), inflection (emphasis on specific words for effect), and tone (speaker’s attitude toward the subject) throughout the monologue. Remember, these elements should shift if the ideas or speaker shifts.
• Mark the text to indicate appropriate eye contact, facial expressions, and movement. These elements should support your tone.
• Brainstorm creative yet simple ideas for pantomime and props, and record your ideas next to appropriate sections in the monologue.
