'Strange Case of Jekyll and Hyde': Extracts for weaker sets

Attached is a bundle of extracts that have been adapted from the original text which are more suitable for weaker GCSE English Literature classes and/or EAL students. In some cases I have taken out words, replaced them or omitted chunks of text so that they are more manageable, whilst aiming to keep the writer's original intention.

In every document there is a simple essay question which students can focus on when reading the extract. I've found them useful to annotate in lessons and then ask students to respond using structured essay paragraphs. All extracts have a word box which defines archaic words.

These would be useful for studying for any exam board and the question can be adapted to refer to the rest of the storyline.
