If I Were You
Class 9 English students explore the one-act play “If I Were You,” in which the calm and resourceful Gerrard confronts an armed intruder who plans to steal his identity. Through the tense exchange, learners examine characterization, dialogue, suspense, dramatic irony, and the use of wit and presence of mind in a dangerous situation. The chapter also develops reading comprehension, inference, vocabulary, and appreciation of how courage and intelligence can overcome physical threat.
