These A3 worksheets take students through every important event in the novel - from the description of the dark door all the way up to Jekyll’s final confession of murder.

Perfect as homework, revision, or an accompaniment to a full text read through.

These three lessons have been designed as a “back to basics” mini-unit, to be delivered at the start of the new academic year. The lessons were originally designed with the coronavirus lockdown in mind, assuming that pupils would start from very different points and with different experiences of lockdown learning. They have been made with another potential lockdown in mind, with each PowerPoint resource mindful of not overwhelming pupils with too many extra bits, should the lesson need to take place through online platforms. The lessons cover the three core reading skills of reading for meaning/inference, reading different text types, and commenting on how a writer uses language. Extracts are taken from Coelho’s The Alchemist, Martel’s The Life of Pi, an article on tiger poaching, and Dickens’ Hard Times Suitable for middle- to lower-ability Key Stage Three classes.

Perfect practice for the weeks leading up to the final exams.
