Hello there.

Thank you for joining me today.

My name is Mr. Barnsley.

It's great to see you.

In today's lesson, we are gonna be looking at chapter eight, which is very ominously titled "The Last Night".

That doesn't sound good, does it? I think it's time for us to dive in and see what happens in this chapter.

So by the end of today's lesson, you are gonna be able to make logical inferences using clues from the text.

We are definitely gonna become the detective today.

We're gonna be looking out for some of those clues in this chapter, and then we're gonna start to make some logical inferences, some sensible guesses about what might have happened.

We're gonna try and solve the case.

Okay.

As ever, we're gonna start with four keywords.

These are suspicious, to confess, vile, and to insinuate, the definitions of each of these four words are about to appear on the screen.

Please read through them carefully.

If you need to pause the video, that's absolutely fine.

If you want to jot them down, even better.

But it's really important that you recognise these words so when you come across them in today's lesson they don't confuse you, but also you want to be able to try and use some of them in your own discussions.

Let's have a look at what they mean.

Okay.

As I mentioned, we are gonna be reading chapter eight "The Last Night" in today's chapter.

This is quite a long chapter, so we're gonna break our reading down into both of our learning cycles.

So we're gonna do a little bit of reading.

Read the first half of the chapter in our first learning cycle, "Who is right"? And then we will finish off the chapter in the second, "All is revealed or is it"? Okay, so let's dive into our first learning cycle, "Who is right"? So you are gonna start by reading chapter eight for me.

You're gonna start the beginning and you're gonna read up into the line that says, "It is the belief of my heart that there was a murder done." Okay? I'm gonna give you a little bit of a summary to help you so you understand what you're reading.

But both Poole and Utterson are deeply worried about what has been happening in Dr.

Jekyll's cabinet, the space above his laboratory.

However, in this first part of the chapter, the men have very different opinions about who is inside.

So as you read, I want you to be collecting evidence, obviously, in the form of quotations to help you summarise what each character thinks.

So I'm giving you a bit of a heads-up here that both characters are gonna have different opinions and I'm gonna be challenging you to explain what those different opinions are.

Okay? So whether you're reading independently or whether you are reading as a class, keep thinking Poole, Utterson, what are their different beliefs and how do I know? Alright, pause the video, read the first part of this chapter and press play when you are ready to continue.

Well done.

I saw some fantastic reading there and I was really impressed by those of you, if you ever struggled with a bit and you weren't quite sure what happened when you just stopped, took yourself back and re-read.

Really, really important skill when tackling complex text.

So well done if that was you.

Okay, let's do a check for understanding then to see if we have understood what the two characters think.

Let's focus on Poole then, true or false? Poole believes his master is still in the laboratory.

What do you think? Pause the video, give this a go, and press play when you are ready to continue.

Alright, well done if you said false, Poole believes Dr.

Jekyll can no longer be in the laboratory.

Let's justify that then.

Let's look at these two justifications to decide which one do we think is the most appropriate to justify the idea that Poole thinks Dr.

Jekyll is no longer in his laboratory.

Is it, a, Poole believes his master has been murdered by the thing in a mask which is now inside the cabinet? Or is it, b, Poole is unsure if Jekyll's inside and he needs Utterson's help to find out? Which of those justify that statement? Pause the video, make your selection and press play when you're ready to continue.

Yes, that was, of course, he believes that Jekyll has been murdered, particularly by the thing in the mask, the small creature being that seems to have be going in and out at the laboratory or that Poole has seen entering the laboratory.

Okay, so two of out Oak pupils.

Laura and Jacob have been discussing which character they think is right, Poole or Utterson.

Let's have a see what they said.

So Laura said, "Well, I agree with Poole, Jekyll is no longer in that laboratory.

He must have been murdered by Hyde." Whereas Jacob says, "No, no, no, I disagree.

I think Utterson's evidence suggests Jekyll must still be inside." What do you think? Who do you agree with? It's time for discussion now.

So if you have a partner, you can pause the video and discuss with them.

If you're working by yourself, you can think to yourself or you can make a few notes.

But either way, I want you to think which of the two pupils do you agree with? Laura or Jacob? Laura is team Poole, Jacob is team Utterson.

But most importantly, what evidence do you have to justify your thinking? Pause the video, have a discussion, have a think, and press play when you are ready to continue.

Great discussions going on there.

Some quite heated, some people really disagreeing there, but some people unsure as well.

I think, I know personally when I read this for the first time, I was like, I don't know what the right answer is.

I feel like both Poole and Utterson are providing evidence that could suggest that they are right.

So that's gonna actually take us to our first task of today's lesson and which is collecting the evidence, collecting quotations from the text to help each pupil prove their argument.

So we're gonna help Laura prove her point that Poole is right by finding evidence that might support Poole's argument that yes, of course, Jekyll can no longer be in the laboratory.

Something bad must have happened to him, it's not him that's in there.

And we're gonna help Jacob justify the argument that Mr. Utterson is right.

That actually no, Jekyll must still be in the laboratory somewhere.

So pause the video.

You're gonna need your copies of the text open and you're gonna want to be flicking through them as you work.

But let's try and make sure we are finding as many different bits of textual evidence to support each student.

Pause the video, give this a go, and press play when you are ready to continue.

Welcome back, well done on that task, and well done, I saw people with their pencils out.

Remember when we are analysing text, it's really good to do some active reading and have our pencils out as we're writing, underlining, circling important points.

So let's have a look then.

What evidence might we have found to prove Laura was right? That Poole is right to believe that Jekyll is no longer in here.

Well, here are some of the quotations.

"Was that my master's voice?" So Poole obviously saying, look, I've heard this voice.

Do you think that was my master? Do you think that was Dr.

Jekyll? "It had been crying night and day for some sort of medicine." Would you describe your master, like if we think about the levels of hierarchy, would you describe your master as it? That's not very respectful.

So it seems to me that Poole must be very confident Jekyll isn't in there.

"Sir, if that was my master, why had he a mask upon his face?" So he's asking this question to Utterson, well, if it is him, why would he need to cover his face? He says "This is more of a dwarf." So he was talking about the size difference between the man he's seen entering the laboratory and his master, Dr.

Jekyll.

And then kind of this question a little bit like the first one.

Almost a rhetorical question here, "Do you think I do not know my master after 20 years?" He's saying I've worked with this man for 20 years.

Do you not think I would recognise him if it was him? So there's lots of evidence there that suggests Poole feels very confident that Jekyll is not in the laboratory.

However, Utterson appears to disagree.

Let's have a look at some of the evidence you might have found to support Jacob in his argument.

So, "What could induce the murderer to stay?" Like he's using logic here.

If you'd murdered someone, why would you stay in the room that you'd murdered them in? Would you not run? Would you not try and escape? He said, and kind of building on this, it says, "It doesn't command itself to reason." It makes no sense.

He's like, it says, makes no sense for someone to murder someone and then stay at the scene of the crime.

All that's gonna happen is you're gonna get caught and you'll get punished.

Then he's looking at the letter and he's saying, "Well, this is unquestionably the doctor's hand." And actually, Poole agrees.

He's saying, look, you said he'd already left, but this note that he's given you is written in his hand.

And then he tries to argue, give a justification.

He says he's, "Plainly seized with one of these maladies," like an illness, "that both torture and deform the sufferer." So he's saying whatever this illness is, it's making him incredibly physically and mentally unwell.

But physically unwell, it might make him not look like he usually does.

Hence why he might wear a mask.

Hence why he might look smaller than he once did.

So well done, if you selected any of those quotations, of course, they're not the only quotations.

So fantastic if you picked any others as well that can be logically used to justify these two arguments.

Okay, we are gonna carry on reading chapter eight now and hopefully, all is going to be revealed, although that question or is it, leaves some doubt.

So I'm gonna pass back over to you to read the rest of chapter eight, whether you're gonna do that independently or whether you're doing that as a class.

Either way you're gonna read from, "Poole' replied the lawyer," to the end of the chapter.

Now I really, really want you to become the detectives here.

So whilst you're reading, I want you to take time to pause.

If you've got someone to discuss with, you can discuss together, but you're gonna become the detective.

You are looking out for the clues we want to solve what has happened to Dr.

Jekyll.

So here are some questions that could help you.

As we know, we always ask ourselves questions when we're reading a complex text.

Anyway, it helps us check we've understood, but these questions are gonna have a second purpose.

They're also gonna help us try and solve the case.

So what or who do Poole and Utterson find in the laboratory? How many people are inside the laboratory? What has happened to the person or the people in there? Where is Dr.

Jekyll and what suspicious clues are found in the laboratory? So as you are reading, use these questions, pause, discuss, become the detective yourself.

Okay, over to you now.

So you're gonna need to pause the video and you're gonna need to press play when you've got to the end of the chapter.

Okay, welcome back.

I can feel your frustration through the screen.

We've got to there, we've found Hyde, but still no Jekyll.

It feels like we're so close to solving this, but we're not quite there yet.

Okay? I hope you had some really good discussions or if you are working by yourself, great that you could, we're jotting some ideas down.

I hope you've started to work through what you think might have happened.

Let's see, and let's double-check all the things that we know definitely happened in chapter eight.

So we're gonna do that with a couple of check for understandings then.

So the first question, whose body is found in the laboratory? Is it, a, Dr Jekyll's, b, Mr. Hyde's, or is it, c, both of the men are found inside? Pause the video, and select your response, and press play when you are ready to continue.

That was, of course, b, Mr. Hyde.

Well done if you said that.

Of course, we're still left with this mystery then, if Mr. Hyde is in there.

Poole was right, Dr.

Jekyll isn't.

So where is Dr.

Jekyll? There were, however, quite a few suspicious things found in the laboratory.

All of these could be clues that we could use to help solve the case.

There are four suspicious things, four potential clues on the screen, which one of them was not found in the laboratory? So three of these things were, you're gonna try and identify the thing that was definitely not found in the laboratory.

Is it, a, Mr. Hyde wearing Dr.

Jekyll's clothes? Is it, b, a letter from Jekyll confessing to murdering Hyde? Is it, c, a broken key and a door which has been locked from the inside? Or is it, d, traces of chemical work including the drug that Poole had been collecting for his master? Pause the video and press play when you think you have the right answer.

Yes, well done if you said b, a letter from Jekyll confessing to murdering Hyde.

Okay, we know there is some paperwork, but we can't be sure that this is a letter Jekyll confessing Hyde.

However, we do know Mr. Hyde is found wearing Dr.

Jekyll's clothes.

We do know there is a broken key and a door which has been locked from the inside.

That is very confusing.

Like how has that door been locked from the inside if the key is also inside and the key is broken? And traces of chemical work.

We know that Poole had been collecting some drugs for his master and we know these had been requested from a note written in Jekyll's hand.

So we can make a good educated guest that this was requested by Dr.

Jekyll.

But we can see this chemical work has been going on inside the laboratory, yet, key thing, Dr.

Jekyll nowhere to be seen, but Mr. Hyde, his dead body is in there.

Okay? So lots of suspicious things, lots of potential clues that we can use, but still nothing is quite being revealed yet.

Okay, let's have a think then about chapter eight and more importantly the clues that we have gathered.

Because yes, it does not tell us exactly what has happened, but it is providing us some of the clues to help us try and work things out ourselves.

So let's have a think about all of the clues that we did find in chapter eight.

So, well, first of all, as discussed, we know we've got the body of Mr. Hyde and we know he's wearing Dr.

Jekyll's clothes.

We know we have this moment where Poole and Utterson break down the door and we know not just being detectives but being excellent and doing our excellent analysis of literature.

We know that this door is a symbol of concealment.

So the breaking of the door down means that symbols or secrets are going to be revealed.

So I think even though that's not an actual clue, we can use that to help us make some guesses as well.

Because we are doing some deeper detective work at a literary level.

We know that Hyde appears to have died by suicide.

So it very much looks like Hyde has died by suicide.

It doesn't look like he's necessarily been murdered, although we can't necessarily rule that out.

But it looks like he's died by suicide.

We know that there are chemical vials that keyword vials and cherval glasses.

So cherval glasses.

So we know there has been some scientific experimenting going on in there.

We do know there is the broken key, which is very confusing because the door has been locked from the inside.

So how has that worked? How has the door been locked on the inside? The key has been broken, so surely no one should be able to get in or out.

That is very confusing.

We know there is a letter.

This has been addressed to Utterson and we know that it's recently been written by Jekyll.

So we recognise the handwriting.

It's Jekyll's handwriting.

It's recently been written by Jekyll.

We know that Jekyll has updated his will, okay? And we know that Utterson is gonna inherit it all.

So this is a change because the will previously said that Mr. Hyde would inherit Jekyll's belongings.

But now this has been changed.

It's been updated recently.

And we know there is a third letter and this is the confession, but we don't know what is inside, that is currently still sealed.

So they are all our clues.

I want us to bear those in mind as we move on to our final task of today's lesson.

So you are gonna have a discussion if you are working by yourself, you can write this idea, you can write this out, you can do this as writing.

But if you are working with others, let's do this as a discussion where you are gonna try and work out what you think has happened in Jekyll's laboratory.

And we're gonna do this by going through three steps.

The first is selecting one of the clues.

So here are some of them, not all of them, some of them are on the previous slide.

If you do want to go back and have a look.

But here are, I would say, some of the really important ones.

Once we select a clue, we're gonna make an inference about what this suggests.

So we can use suggest, implies, indicates, points to, or one of those keywords insinuates.

All of these are gonna help us make an educated guess about what the clue is telling us.

And then we are gonna use conjunctions to justify our thoughts.

Okay? So we make a suggestion, we make an educated guess.

We need to explain why we think that, okay, so, because, since, as, so, therefore, are useful conjunctions about explaining and justifying our thoughts, let me just model one of the things that you might say so you can see what this should look like.

So the presence of Hyde's body wearing Jekyll's clothes, that's my clue, suggests Hyde had been staying at Jekyll's laboratory for some time.

That's my inference, okay? I'm making an educated guess, why? Since he clearly had not been back to Soho to collect his own clothing.

So that's my educated guess.

If Hyde is wearing Jekyll's clothes, he hasn't been back to his own house.

So he hasn't got access to his own clothes, therefore he must have had to borrow Jekyll's clothes.

That means he's been there for some time.

Okay, I've taken a clue, I've made an inference, and I've justified it with a logical reason.

Now it's over to you.

You can do this verbally in pairs if you've got someone to discuss with or you can write it down if you're working independently, it's time to pause the video and try and work out what has happened in Jekyll's laboratory.

Over to you.

Well done.

Welcome back.

I could see you frantically trying to solve this crime.

It was like watching a detective at work.

So great, great job.

We're gonna now take a pause to sit back and reflect on the discussions that we had.

Obviously, if you've written this down, you can reread your work.

But I really want you to think about did you manage to discuss different clues from chapter eight? Did you manage to focus your discussions on some of the different clues that we see? Were your inferences logical? Did they make sense? Okay.

Sometimes it's easy to make these really over-the-top guesses, but we really need to think, does this work? Does this make sense? Is it logical from the clues that I have been given? And did you justify your inferences? And you could use further references from the text to do this.

So let's pause, take a bit of a moment to reflect and then press play when you are ready to continue.

Alright, fantastic reflections there.

Really well done in this lesson.

I really enjoy this chapter.

It really does feel like a detective case and I feel like we've all become detectives today.

So fantastic work.

Let's have a quick summary of what we have learned today.

Just this as a reminder, you should be reading through this and if any of these things you don't feel confident about, that's fine.

Just go back, re-watch or re-go through some of the slides and make sure you do understand them because you want to be confident of all of these things before you finish the lesson today.

So we learned that the breaking of the laboratory door is symbolic, it's symbolic of the secrets that are about to be revealed.

We know that Utterson finds Hyde, who we believe to have died by suicide, but we know he's wearing Jekyll's clothes.

Dr.

Jekyll's disappearance from the locked laboratory is the final mystery of the case.

We think we're about to solve it, but we've got another mystery.

Where has Jekyll gone? And there is one final sealed letter that Utterson receives and this becomes our final symbol of concealment.

Okay, fantastic work today.

I hope you've enjoyed today's lesson.

I've certainly enjoyed working through this all with you.

I hope to see you in one of our future lessons as well, the more lessons in this unit.

Have a great rest of your day.

Thank you very much.

Goodbye.
