The Invisible Man - Lesson 11 - Lesson Plan

In Lesson 11 of the 'The Invisible Man' play study, the learning objective is to reinforce students' knowledge and understanding of the plot, characters, and themes present in Act 2. The lesson aims to achieve this through reading and discussion, culminating in the creation of a storyboard that encapsulates the key elements of the act. Progress is assessed through class discussions and the storyboards produced by the students, which serve as a visual representation of their comprehension.

The lesson is structured to accommodate different learning outcomes. All students are expected to gain a basic understanding of the plot, characters, and themes in Act 2. Those who 'should' achieve will gain a secure understanding, whereas students who 'could' achieve will demonstrate a detailed understanding. To support these varying levels of achievement, differentiation opportunities are provided, such as editing the PowerPoint for clarity or balancing teacher guidance with independent learning. The lesson starts with a 20-minute activity where the class reads to the end of the play and engages in a group discussion. The main teaching activity involves students spending 30 minutes creating storyboards for Act 2. For those who are ready for an extension, they can perform their storyboards in small groups using narrated freeze frames. The lesson concludes with a 10-minute plenary where volunteers present their storyboards, and peers offer constructive criticism, facilitating a reflective and interactive learning environment.
