The Invisible Man - Lesson 4 - PowerPoint

Lesson Four of an English teaching resource invites students to explore the imaginative concept of invisibility, as presented in "The Invisible Man." The lesson begins with a thought-provoking question: "If you could be invisible for a day, what would you do?" This creative prompt encourages students to write down their ideas, stimulating their imagination and setting the stage for engagement with the theme of invisibility. This activity not only sparks students' creativity but also prepares them for deeper discussions about the characters and themes within the story they are studying.

As part of the lesson, students are tasked with reading Act 1, Scene 1 of "The Invisible Man" to gain an understanding of the narrative and characters. Following the reading, they delve into character analysis, specifically focusing on what they learn about Kemp and Griffin through the character of Marvel at the end of Scene 1. This analytical activity challenges students to consider the perspectives and motivations of characters within the text, thereby enhancing their comprehension and critical thinking skills. By examining the interactions and revelations within the scene, pupils develop a greater insight into the dynamics of the story and the complexities of the characters involved.
