A lesson analysing the theme of secrecy within Jekyll and Hyde. Involves students completing a 'blackout analysis' (like blackout poetry) to highlight key words that aid to the theme. Students find the words associated with secrecy, then 'blackout' the rest. After annotating the words they've found, they then use this to spark an analysis based on a GCSE question. Full Powerpoint provided, with differentiated learning objectives throughout, and the extract from the text. Please leave a review and let me know how it goes!

A booklet that has explores the whole play, using Baz Luhrmann’s version of the film. For every scene (apart from Act 4 Scene 2,3, 4) I have a screen shot of a key event with a question next to it, linked to a character/quote/theme/event. Most are cloze based questions for weaker students, however I have left space for higher ability to make their own notes. Made for students who were absent/missed study of Romeo and Juliet. Perfect to be used alongside watching the film as a “blast” to enable them to understand major plot, characters and themes within. Note: where the Luhrmann edition misses key things, I have explored these in the questions.
