The Invisible Man - Lesson 13 - PowerPoint

Lesson 13, designed for English teaching resources, delves into the exploration of key themes within 'The Invisible Man'. This particular lesson engages students with an interactive activity that involves unscrambling anagrams, each representing a significant theme addressed in the story. The anagrams include 'A Soil Into', 'Tidy Nite', 'Boat Mini', 'We Pro', 'Nice Sec', and 'Cosy Tie', which, when deciphered, reveal the themes of isolation, identity, ambition, power, science, and society, respectively. This exercise not only reinforces the students' understanding of the narrative's central ideas but also enhances their vocabulary and problem-solving skills.

Following the anagram activity, the students are tasked with creating a comprehensive mind map that encapsulates the key themes of 'The Invisible Man'. They are encouraged to include detailed notes and illustrative images that explain how H.G. Wells examines these themes throughout the narrative. For those unfamiliar with the concept of mind maps, the lesson provides examples to guide them on how to effectively organize and present their ideas. This visual and analytical approach allows students to engage deeply with the text and to appreciate the complexity of Wells' exploration of themes that are central to the human experience.
