Chinua Achebe’s ‘Things Fall Apart’ chronicles the life of Okonkwo, the leader of an Igbo community, from the events leading up to his banishment from the community for accidentally killing a clansman, through the seven years of his exile, to his return. I have taught this novel many times over the last 20 years. I have used this specific resource (revised in 2021) to lead my teaching in class, as a distance learning material (Google Meet/SKYPE lessons), as a homework assignment and even as a tool of revision – all have worked well for the students. This dynamically illustrated PowerPoint lesson (25 slides) provides approximately 2 hours teaching time and includes: a starter activity, summary and analysis questions, an academic writing task, a theme tracking task, an extension task connected to critical vocabulary, a homework assignment and a plenary. This is a complete resource with no further work required from the teacher. Enjoy!
