The Invisible Man - Lesson 14 - Lesson Plan

In Lesson 14 of a play study unit, students are tasked with the objective to learn how to write a review of a studied text, specifically focusing on "The Invisible Man." This English reading lesson aims to develop students' analytical and evaluative skills through the process of crafting a book review. The assessment of progress will be carried out through an individual written task where each student will compose their own review of the play.

The expected outcomes of the lesson are tiered to cater for varying levels of comprehension and engagement with the text. At the basic level, students must demonstrate a fundamental understanding of the play. Moving a step further, they should exhibit a secure grasp of the narrative and characters. For those who can delve deeper, they could show a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of "The Invisible Man." To accommodate different learning needs, the lesson plan suggests differentiation opportunities, such as editing the PowerPoint for clarity or balancing teacher-led guidance with independent learning. The lesson begins with a starter activity where students discuss their favourite books or films, providing a personal context for reviewing. The main teaching activity involves writing a review of the play, with an extension task that encourages students to enhance their reviews with additional features like quotes and ratings. The lesson concludes with a plenary session where volunteers share their reviews and receive peer feedback, promoting a collaborative and reflective learning environment.
