A Doll's House (Henrik Ibsen) - Pre-Reading NO PREP TEACHING Activities

This is a comprehensive collection of NO PREP teaching activities, worksheets, teaching presentations and printout materials for my various pre-reading activities for the iconic play A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen. You can use any of these activities to introduce the play, depending on your syllabus, group of students, etc.

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 comprehensive bundle includes:

1. A Critical Introduction to the play, with a focus on providing key insights into the most important aspects of the play, in preparation for an in-depth, advanced teaching unit and in-class study. The introduction also includes follow-up discussion questions.

2. Drama & Improv Activities: This activity uses drama and improv prompts to help students explore familiar scenes from the play, but with a modern twist. Students are encouraged to think on their feet, use their imagination, and have fun as they bring the classic novel to life in an entirely different way.

3. Carousel Discussion & Anticipation Activity: This activity uses various statements related to the play and to current or otherwise relevant socio-historical issues to create an engaging and thought-provoking anticipation activity for reading the play. I find carousel activities particularly engaging for students and a rewarding experience every time. Students engage with key issues that you can return to as you read the play, and it is particularly rewarding to return to questions left unanswered in such activities as the play progresses.

4. NO PREP TEACHING PRESENTATION: I’ve made every effort to include absolutely everything you need to teach these pre-reading activities. An engaging, all-you-need-to-teach presentation PDF is included. Just open the PDF, go into full-screen mode and go through the lesson, including learning objectives, lesson instructions, closing activities, and more! The presentation matches the print-and-use worksheets perfectly.

***Happy teaching!
