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. I have used these sheets in the past to teach Jekyll and Hyde to lower sets, without having to cut through some of the less useful passages in Stevenson’s novel. Perfect as homework, revision, or an accompaniment to a full text read through.

The main PowerPoint also includes a lesson on writing creatively about deep sea creatures, using the Jaws extract as an exemplar.
