Jekyll and Hyde - Higher Ability Lesson Bundle - Chapter 2

Students need to have read chapter 2 prior to this lesson - the lesson starts with some retrieval questions around their reading of chapter 2. The lesson then moves on to discussing students’ prior knowledge about science and discovery in the Victorian era and social impact of these before analyising two extracts from chapter 2 link to these themes. The PowerPoint supports students in picking out key language and phrases to explore, as well as questions to guide their analysis. After analysis, students have a range of consolidation questions to answer around the presentation of science and technology and the way gothic conventions are used in the chapter. The lesson then moves on to explore animalistic imagery used to describe Mr Hyde, then linking to duality. Finally, the plenary asks students to consolidate their learning about Mr Hyde in Chapter 2 by considering how he is frightening.
