A Level: (1) The Importance of Being Earnest - Act 1 Part 1

Oscar Wilde’s skills of wit and complexity are clearly evident in this masterpiece of comedy. This power point lesson focuses specifically on act 1 part 1. The slides are beautifully illustrated and very engaging for the students. I have taught this play many times and have used this specific resource to lead my teaching in class, as a homework assignment and even as a revision tool – all have worked well for the students.

This lesson contains a starter activity, a recap on previous learning, a glossary of terms connected to the scene, summary and analysis questions, an academic writing task, an extension task, a homework assignment and a plenary – this is a complete resource that aims to take all the time consuming work away – enjoy!
