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 have used this specific resource (revised in 2021) to: lead my teaching in class, as a distance learning resource in SKYPE lessons, as a homework assignment and even as a tool of revision – all have worked well for the students. This dynamically presented PowerPoint lesson (28 slides, approximately 120 minutes teaching time) includes: 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.
