The Invisible Man - Lesson 9 - Lesson Plan

In Lesson 9 of an English reading series on play study, students will delve into the literary and social context of H.G. Wells' "The Invisible Man". The lesson's primary aim is for students to explore the background and societal influences that shaped Wells' work. This objective will be achieved through reading and discussing Act 2, Scenes 1 to 4, followed by a research task that encourages independent inquiry and critical thinking.

The lesson will assess students' progress through discussions and the outcomes of their research tasks. Expected outcomes are tiered to cater to different levels of understanding: all students must gain a basic understanding of H.G. Wells and the context of the novel, while some should secure a more comprehensive grasp, and others could achieve a detailed understanding. To support diverse learning needs, the lesson plan includes differentiation opportunities, such as customising the PowerPoint presentation and balancing teacher guidance with independent study. The lesson kicks off with a starter activity where students engage in partner quizzes, followed by the main teaching activity combining class discussions and individual research. For those seeking an additional challenge, there's an extension task to present their research using various multimedia tools. The plenary will involve a recap of the lesson and setting homework to complete the research task.
