This literature circle unit is designed to help students study Roald Dahl's writing style and how this style affects the tone and content of his stories.  By the end of the unit, many students will be able to discuss Dahl's influence on literature and the ways in which many of his stories are similar.  Not only will they be using the books themselves, but they will also explore Dahl's life through websites and other research sources.
