A 20 lesson scheme of work for teaching The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde for English Literature GCSE. The two assessment questions used are from AQA. This full SoW covers the text in detail, opening with a context lesson. It encourages students to look at extracts from the text throughout. The scheme of work ends with lessons recapping context, characters, themes, structure, and motifs. Every slide has clear titles, instructions, often an eye catching relevant image, and a ‘challenge’ extension task. Every lesson has a simple starter and plenary. This would probably be aimed at a higher set but the instructions are clear and could be adapted for a mid set.
