The Invisible Man - Lesson 6 - Lesson Plan

In Lesson 6 of the 'The Invisible Man' play study, students are tasked with the learning objective of understanding P.A.F. (Point, Evidence, Analysis, and Feel) and developing the ability to write empathetically. The lesson aims to achieve this through a blend of reading, discussion, and a focused letter writing exercise. This approach is designed to help students assess their progress through a P.A.F. based activity that involves diary writing, thereby allowing them to demonstrate their grasp of empathetic writing.

The expected outcomes of the lesson are clearly defined at three levels: 'Must' for gaining a basic understanding of P.A.F. and empathetic writing, 'Should' for securing a more robust comprehension, and 'Could' for gaining deeper insights into these concepts. To accommodate various learning needs, the lesson plan suggests differentiating opportunities such as editing the PowerPoint presentation for tailored support and finding the right balance between teacher guidance and independent learning. The lesson begins with a 10-minute starter activity where the class recaps the story so far. This is followed by a 40-minute main teaching activity, which includes a P.A.F. task in pairs, individual preparation of notes for a letter, and writing a letter from the perspective of Dr Kemp. An extension activity includes a 'Writing Checklist' to refine their work. The lesson concludes with a 10-minute plenary session where volunteers read out their letters, receiving and offering constructive criticism through peer and self-assessment.
