Jekyll and Hyde - Higher Ability Lesson Bundle - Dr Lanyon's Narrative

The lesson begins by considering students’ responses to the question: How would Victorian society feel about somebody doing ‘God’s work’ at this time? A range of follow up questions are provided on slide one to help you and the students develop this discussion. Students then read chapter 9 with some prompt questions to guide their thinking. Students explore two extracts from the chapter - the Letter and Lanyon’s description of how the potion takes over Jekyll. Students then consolidate their work on the extracts by completing a table on which they collect the key parts of their discussion (a useful resource to return to in later revision). The lesson then ends with students discussing the question: How does Stevenson present Jekyll in Chapter 9? A range of follow up question are provided to develop this discussion.
