GCSE Literature: ‘Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’ Bundle 1 – Chapters 1 to 5 (8x90 minute lessons)

Robert Louis Stevenson’s enduring horror classic ‘Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’ is an essential text, detailing the harsh dualities of good and evil within all of us. In a bid isolate and contain the evil elements of human nature, Dr. Jekyll creates a potion with honourable intentions but sad and tragic outcomes. I have taught this text many times in the last twenty years and I have used these specific resources (revised in 2021) to: lead my teaching in class, as distance learning resources in SKYPE lessons, as homework assignments and even as tools of revision – all have worked well for the students.

These dynamically presented PowerPoint lessons (approximately 90 minutes teaching time per lesson) each include: a starter activity, summary and analysis questions, a set of recap questions, an academic writing task, a theme tracking exercise, an extension task connected to critical vocabulary, a homework assignment and a plenary. Included within this bundle is ‘An Introduction to the Text’ lesson, a ‘Themes – Science, Reason and the Supernatural’ lesson and a ‘Written Assignment -Guided Essay Writing’ lesson. These are complete resources with no additional work required from the teacher. Enjoy!
