This teaching unit focuses on Act 1, Part 3 of the seminal play A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen with a particular focus on exploring the central emerging themes of the play. The activities are designed to focus on Act 1, although they can also be completed if students have read further in 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: Social Responsibility: This activity goes some depth and takes a closer look at the way Ibsen uses our first encounters with Doctor Rank and Krogstad to develop a central emerging theme of the play, that of social responsibility.
3. A First Look at Themes: Digging Deeper: This activity uses a selection of key quotes from Act 1 to allow your students to further strengthen their understanding of key themes and emerging issues in Act 1.
4. A First Look at Themes: Discussion Questions: This set of critical discussion questions is designed to allow a more critical discussion of the emerging themes, suitable for higher level students or to further develop critical thinking, analysis skills as well as student’s ability to provide differentiated responses based on textual evidence and the reading of the play so far (Act 1).
5. 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.
