Jekyll and Hyde - Higher Ability Lesson Bundle - The Novel's Structure

The lesson begins with students identifying and justifying which event of the novel is most important, as well as the ideas of causes and consequences to develop their ideas. The students then move on to explore the structure of the novel through a graph task.
Part 1: students cut out and glue events of novel and place them in the correct order along their graph.
Part 2: students then plot the tension of each chapter along their graph to identify where tension reaches its peak, and where Stevenson deliberately misleads the reader.
A supportive analysis task is then provided to allow students to explore where the novel is most calm and most tense, and choices Stevenson has made at these points. Students then return to the question posed at the beginning of the lesson to see whether their position has changed.
