Introducing our Engaging Victorian Literature Lessons!
Are you ready to offer your students a captivating journey into the Victorian era? Our series of carefully designed lessons will immerse them in the uncertainty, fear, and duality that defined this remarkable period. Each lesson is packed with thought-provoking activities and resources, aimed at developing their understanding and analytical skills while exploring the captivating works of literature from that time.
In Lesson 1, students will delve into the uncertainty of the Victorian era, challenging them to question if someone can truly be completely evil. Through interactive tasks and discussions, they’ll explore the origins of species, dive into the enigma of Jack the Ripper, and analyse the changes faced by Victorian society.
Lesson 2 takes students on a journey through works of fiction from the Victorian era, where they’ll uncover the underlying fears that gripped society. From Kingsley’s “The Water Babies” to Oscar Wilde’s “The Picture of Dorian Gray,” they’ll discover how these literary masterpieces reflected the anxieties of the time. Get ready for them to discuss, analyse, and even create their own stories or poems based on 21st-century fears.
In Lesson 3, students will delve into the importance of identity, challenging them to find language that helps create the identity of Mr. Utterson. With engaging activities such as creating a Facebook profile for the character or writing a tweet in his voice, they’ll develop a deeper understanding of how language shapes and represents identity.
Lesson 4 takes a closer look at Stevenson’s masterful creation of fear through his writing. Analysing the duality of the Victorian era, students will explore the techniques the author employed to capture the anxiety of the audience. Through collaborative activities and in-depth analysis, they’ll uncover the power of language and its ability to evoke a chilling atmosphere.
Lessons 5 to 10 continue the immersive experience, guiding students through the events, language analysis, and key themes in Stevenson’s “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” Each lesson presents new challenges, encourages critical thinking, and offers opportunities for collaborative learning and accelerated growth.
