Jekyll and Hyde - Higher Ability Lesson Bundle - Chapter 10

Students begin the lesson by exploring the importance of the chapter title. This is a long and complex chapter, so while reading the chapter, students have a range of questions to find the answers to in order to demonstrate and consolidate their understanding. The students then consider the question: How does Stevenson want the reader to feel towards Jekyll? There are two options for them to do this: option 1 - provide them with extracts to explore; option 2 - students identify and explore their own quotes in the chapter. Then consider the end of the novel through the extract and guide questions to analyse Stevenson’s language and syntax choices. In the plenary, students read a short opinion on the novel and consider their own response to this opinion, using their knowledge of the text to justify their position (good practice for Language paper 1 question 4).
