The Invisible Man - Lesson 9 - PowerPoint

Lesson 9 of an English teaching resource focuses on the classic science fiction novel "The Invisible Man" by Herbert George Wells, commonly known as H.G. Wells. The lesson involves collaborative learning where students work in pairs to complete quizzes that test their understanding of the material. This interactive approach not only reinforces the students' knowledge but also encourages teamwork and communication skills. The lesson plan suggests that students should read specific sections of the novel, namely Act 2, Scenes 1 to 4, to deepen their engagement with the text and its narrative structure.

Furthermore, the lesson delves into the literary contributions of H.G. Wells, who penned "The Invisible Man" in 1897. Recognised for his pioneering work in the science fiction genre, Wells also authored other notable works such as "The First Men on the Moon", "The War of the Worlds", "The Time Machine", and "The Island of Dr Moreau". Students are prompted to explore the types of stories Wells was fond of writing and to conduct research to create an H.G. Wells Fact File. This research task serves as homework, encouraging students to independently investigate the author's life and works, thereby enhancing their literary knowledge and research skills.
