Year 9,
I know you found some of the questions on the novella difficult today – I suggest that you go on-line to reread the chapter called Incident of the Letter again (this is chapter 5.) You will be retelling the chapter from the point of view of Mr Guest, Mr Utterson’s clerk. Remember that Mr Utterson is a quiet, private and discrete person who would not share his thoughts with just anyone and Mr Guest will be aware of it. Write it as a diary entry that Mr Guest would write after his conversation with Mr Utterson. Remember Mr Utterson shows him the letter written by Hyde as well as a dinner invitation from Dr Jekyll. Mr Guest is something of a handwriting expert – so what does he notice? Would he speculate about something in his diary that he may not say to anybody else, not even to Mr Utterson?
And for those of you who say you have lost the thread of the plot – use your initiative and read a summary on-line!
Copies of the worksheet and the story board for your own Gothic film are pinned up in the classroom – please collect any of these resources if you need them.
