The Invisible Man - Lesson 8 - Lesson Plan

In Lesson 8 of a play study on "The Invisible Man," the class aims to deepen their understanding of the first act. The learning objective is to consolidate students' knowledge of the plot, characters, and themes introduced in Act 1. The lesson will achieve this through a combination of reading, discussion, and interactive quizzes, which will also serve as a means of assessing progress. By the end of the session, all students should have a basic grasp of Act 1, with some achieving a secure understanding and others potentially gaining deeper insights.

The lesson begins with a starter activity where students will read the remaining scenes of Act 1, specifically scenes 9 to 16, and then engage in a discussion about the characters and key events. This is followed by the main teaching activity, where pupils will be tasked with creating their own quizzes about Act 1 for their classmates, while the teacher prepares a group quiz. For those who finish early or need an additional challenge, an extension activity involves adding a bonus round to the quiz. The lesson concludes with a plenary, where the entire class participates in taking the teacher's quiz. Throughout the lesson, differentiation opportunities are available, such as editing PowerPoint presentations for varying support levels and balancing teacher guidance with independent learning.
