IGCSE / A-Level: Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen) - Pre-Reading Activities (Intro + Improv)

This is a unit of work that contains two different types of pre-reading activities for the classic novel Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen:

1. A Critical Introduction, with a focus on providing key insights into the most important aspects of the novel, in preparation for an in-depth, advanced teaching unit and in-class study of the novel.

2. Drama & Improv Activities: This activity uses drama and improv prompts to help students explore familiar scenes from the novel, 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

I hope you enjoy teaching these activities. They are also suitable as a way to review and revisit key scenes and aspects of the novel!

Happy teaching, and please leave feedback!
