This resource is particularly suitable for EAL/ESL learners, SEND students, lower-attaining learners and reluctant readers. It supports students in understanding the story and engaging with its ideas without lowering expectations.

Pedagogical philosophy
The overriding principle behind Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde Unlocked has grown out of more than thirty years in the classroom:
Understanding must come before analysis.

Written and classroom-tested by an experienced English teacher with over 30 years of classroom experience, this resource puts students’ understanding first. Clear language, carefully sequenced activities and structured support help learners build confidence before progressing towards more demanding literary study.

A note to fellow teachers
This is a free preview of a resource that has already proved popular with TES teachers. I am currently revising and expanding the complete Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde Unlocked resource, so the updated Student Workbook and Teacher Guide are still in development.

If you download and use this sample with your students, I would be very grateful if you could leave a comment or share your feedback. Your experience in the classroom will help inform the development of the updated resource.
Thank you for supporting accessible, inclusive English teaching.
