Designed for English essays and Creative Writing, these automated writing criteria operate in Excel and, using a simple colour-flag tick box system, each will total up the score out of 40 for you. When you have finished marking, simply add it to your print queue and go on to your next piece of work. It will be down to the children to give themselves a WWW and EBI comment based on the colour flags they have received for this particular work.
You could even make a copy of each tab to return to later! Both criteria are fully editable and have been proven to save time.
Welcome to 'The Shadow of Duality: The Revision Revision Board Game for The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
This group revision board game is an entertaining way to revisit Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde for GCSE English Literature. Groups of 4-6 players will face seven different categories of question cards and choice of pathways across the board, each presenting different outcomes and dilemmas along the way (aimed at replicating not only the duality of man but also the impact of individual choice and reputation).
The seven categories of questions are:
Plot (recapping the plot and its development)
Character (exploring key characters’ personalities and traits)
Themes (examining the key themes and their impact)
Quotes (identifying key quotes and their speakers)
Challenge (timed challenges to test your knowledge under pressure)
Virtues (exploring virtuous aspects like the actions of Dr Jekyll)
Vices (examining sinful or vicious aspects like the persona of Mr Hyde)
Not only are there questions to answer, the choice to pursue Virtues and Vices questions bring individual choices. Virtues questions provide an opportunity to aid others whilst Vices questions provide an opportunity to place the self first, much like Dr Jekyll’s pursuit of the egotistical desire to be recognised in the field of Science.
By purchasing this game, you will receive:
x1 printable two-page A3 game board
x7 printable decks of 24 question and answer cards (168 questions in total)
x6 printable Jekyll-and-Hyde-themed game counters
x1 printable A4 game instructions (folded)
Please Note: Players will require a six-sided dice and access to a timer to play (NOT included).
In order to play the game, simply print and laminate the game boards, card decks, game counters and instructions. Be sure to print the game cards double-sided! Plus, by laminating, you can reuse the resource in the future!
Replay the game as many times as you wish or even send the question cards home as additional revision if you so wish.
