Darwinism in Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
A ‘masterclass’ revision lesson on the importance of understanding Darwin and his influences/impact on Victorian society in relation to descriptions of Hyde. Made for a high ability top set in mind. Students must have solid foundational knowledge of the text in order for this to be useful. Students should come away with a detailed revision poster based on the questions/discussions/information given. There is also a model ‘Grade 9’ response at the end that could be picked apart.
I have provided links in the notes of the powerpoints for source materials - I highly recommend reading them first if your own knowledge on the topic isn’t vast!
