The Invisible Man - Lesson 12 - PowerPoint

In Lesson 12 of an English teaching resource, students are invited to delve deeper into the study of "The Invisible Man". The lesson begins with a recap of the play, encouraging students to reflect on the plot, characters, and themes. This not only helps to consolidate their understanding of the narrative but also sets the stage for more analytical and critical thinking. By revisiting the key elements of the story, students are able to build a more nuanced appreciation of the literary work and prepare for the interactive activities that follow.

One of the central activities of the lesson is to compile a list of 6 to 8 questions that a police officer might ask Dr Kemp, a character from the story. This exercise aims to engage students in a role-play scenario where they 'hot seat' Dr Kemp, asking him to explain his knowledge of Griffin, the protagonist of the play, and speculate on what might have happened to him. This hot seating activity not only brings the text to life but also allows students to explore character motivations and relationships in a creative and engaging way. It encourages them to think from different perspectives and to consider how characters might react under interrogation.
