Jekyll and Hyde - High Ability Lesson Bundle - Chapter 1 and Duality

The lesson (Works across two lessons if the analytical writing task is completed) begins by exploring the term ‘duality’ through an image and range of questions which ask students to link their discussion to their knowledge of the plot and contextual understanding so far. The lesson then moves on to ask students to consider how many ‘sides’ there are to their own personalities and whether we make conscious choices in the sides we choose to show. Students then read chapter 1 with a range of questions to consider around the character of Mr Utterson, the detached narrator and links to duality. Students then complete close textual analysis of the description on Mr Utterson with prompt questions and terminology (my own annotations provided).Introduce students to the question: What do we learn about Mr Utterson and his lifestyle at the beginning of Jekyll and Hyde? and the analytical support sheet. Before students write their own response, explore the example paragraph. Once students have written their response, use the peer assessment sticker to select a ‘WWW’ and ‘EBI’. Students can then be set homework on creating a quote bank from their reading of chapter 1.
