The Invisible Man - Lesson 7 - Lesson Plan

In Lesson 7 of the play study on 'The Invisible Man', the learning objective is to reinforce students' knowledge and understanding of Act 1. The lesson aims to achieve this by engaging students in reading and discussion up to the end of Act 1, Scene 8, and by having them create a storyboard to visually summarise the events. The success of the lesson will be assessed through the quality of the discussion and the storyboards produced by the students.

The expected outcomes of the lesson are tiered to accommodate different levels of comprehension among students. At the basic level, all students must gain a fundamental understanding of the plot, characters, and themes of Act 1, Scenes 1 to 8. They should aim to secure a more detailed understanding, while the highest achievers could gain deeper insights into these elements. To cater to various learning needs, differentiation opportunities include the option to edit or adapt the PowerPoint presentation for different support levels and to find the right balance between teacher guidance and independent learning. The lesson begins with a 15-minute starter activity involving class reading and discussion. The main teaching activity spans 35 minutes, starting with a teacher demonstration of the storyboard task, followed by individual storyboard creation. An extension activity encourages groups to perform their storyboards as narrated freeze frames. The lesson concludes with a 10-minute plenary where volunteers present their storyboards, allowing for peer and self-assessment.
