The Invisible Man - Lesson 10 - PowerPoint

In Lesson 10 of an English teaching resource, students delve into the dramatic events of "The Invisible Man" by examining and discussing Act 2, Scenes 5 to 8. The lesson aims to deepen their understanding of the narrative and characters through interactive reading and analysis. To further engage with the text, students are tasked with a creative diary writing activity, where they step into the shoes of the character Kemp. They are required to articulate Kemp's emotions and reactions to the unfolding events, providing a personalised account that reflects the character's perspective and experiences thus far in the story.

The diary writing exercise is structured to guide students through Kemp's journey, from his initial reaction to a crucial note found by Emily to the climactic moment when he saves her from Griffin's clutches. The task is designed to challenge students' writing skills by incorporating various literary techniques. They are encouraged to use compound and simple sentences, powerful adjectives, adventurous verbs, and start sentences with adverbs. Additionally, they are prompted to predict future interactions between Kemp and Griffin, using rhetorical questions and similes to enhance their entries. This comprehensive approach not only assesses students' comprehension but also fosters their creative expression and command of the English language.
