This teaching unit focuses on Act 1 of the seminal play A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen with a particular focus on exploring several of the most important, emerging symbols and motifs of the play.
The play is a particular success with IB or A-Level students, but the resources can be used with any upper school / high school class!
The unit includes:
1. Comprehension: Quick Quiz Activities: A fun, quick quiz activity to test your students’ reading, and to enable an engaging introduction to the main topics and learning objectives of the unit.
2. Digging Deeper: Analysing Key Quotations: This activity allows for an in-depth look at several of the most important quotes from the last part of Act 1 of the play, with a particular focus on looking at Nora’s interactions with Helmer and the children.
3. A First Look at Symolism: Close Reading Activity: This activity uses a range of carefully selected quotations and passages from Act 1 of the play to allow for an in-depth but clearly structured, scaffolded analysis of the emerging symbolism. This activity is not designed as an exhaustive look at symbolism, but as a first look at some of the most important emerging symbols, including the macaroons, the Christmas tree, and the children. The idea is that one can return to these symbols as they become more complex motifs later in the play.
4. Teacher’s Guide & Model Answers for all activities. The teacher’s guide includes detailed model answers for all activities and is designed to help you prepare for a perfect teaching unit.
